New Delhi [India], April 27 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a videoconference with Chief Ministers over the COVID-19 situation, was seen covering his face with a traditional 'gamcha' on Monday.
The Prime Minister's 'gamcha' was a plain white colour with a sea green check pattern. Covering the mouth and nose with a traditional 'gamcha' has been the go-to option for Modi in a bid to make people aware of how they can easily take precautions against coronavirus.

During a video interaction with Sarpanchs on April 24, Modi again opted for a 'gamcha'.
He was seen wearing a homemade white cloth mask in his previous meeting with Chief Ministers on April 11.
With 1,396 more COVID-19 cases reported in the last 24 hours, India's count of coronavirus cases has reached 27,892, said the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Monday.
