Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said it will not be possible to end the lockdown on April 14, amid the novel coronavirus spread in the country.

He said, he would consult with Chief Ministers but it looked unlikely that the lockdown could end anytime soon, he came up with the remark after a meeting with all parties leader, reported NDTV.

Life will not be the same again after COVID-19, said the PM, adding that there would be "pre-corona and post-corona".

"Massive behavioural, social and personal changes will have to take place," PM Modi reportedly told political leaders in the video conference.

The meeting was held to discuss the fight against coronavirus as the number of cases in the country climbed to 5,194. A detailed presentation was made by the Health Secretary, Home Secretary and Rural Affairs Secretary.
