"Had an extensive review regarding preparedness on the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus. Different ministries & states are working together, from screening people arriving in India to providing prompt medical attention," the Prime Minister added.

PM Modi's tweet comes amid reports of new coronavirus or Covid-19 cases in India. Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a dig at the central government saying: "A true leader would be completely focused on averting the massive crisis about to be unleashed by the virus on India and its economy."

Shortly after Rahul Gandhi's tweet, PM Modi posted an update on India's response to the coronavirus outbreak.
