I appeal to people, transcending all borders, to use precautions that are being given out through official sources and to NOT get misled by myths that are circulated by mischievous elements," said Dr Harsh Vardhan, union minister for health and family welfare, science and technology, earth sciences. "Access to credible sources of information is critical to battling Coronavirus and is our top priority. We appreciate the opportunity to work with the ministry of health and MyGov on this initiative.
