"If our behavior meets the requirements of epidemic prevention, the pandemic will not get worse. Getting the second wave of the pandemic under control has proven that. However, if we get too careless, the situation could be really bad. Whether the pandemic can be controlled completely depends on everyone's behavior."

India's central government is calling on the public to continue observing anti-pandemic measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19 infections, even as some regions start to lift restrictions.
Outside a subway station in New Delhi, hundreds of local residents could be seen flouting social distancing guidelines while waiting in line to take the metro.
Metro authorities capped ridership to limit the potential for overcrowding in subway cars, but unintentionally caused passengers to crowd outside the station, possibly increasing their risk of infection while they wait.
"I have been waiting at the entrance of the subway station for 35 minutes. The management of the metro corporation is way too poor," said local resident Amit Ranjan.
The Indian government has repeatedly emphasized the importance of strict restrictions in controlling the pandemic. As COVID-19 lockdowns in various states are eased, the central authorities are reminding residents that public health measures such as wearing masks and keeping socially distant must be maintained.
"If our behavior meets the requirements of epidemic prevention, the pandemic will not get worse. Getting the second wave of the pandemic under control has proven that. However, if we get too careless, the situation could be really bad. Whether the pandemic can be controlled completely depends on everyone's behavior," said Nidhi, a local resident.
India's COVID-19 tally rose to 29,881,965 on Sunday, with 58,419 new cases recorded in the past 24 hours, said the federal health ministry. The country's death toll rose by 1,576 since Saturday morning, taking the total number of COVID fatalities in India to 386,713.
Sunday marked the first time in 81 days that India reported fewer than 60,000 daily new COVID-19 infections, added the federal health ministry. Sunday also marked the 13th consecutive day the country has recorded fewer than 100,000 cases, after hitting 400,000 for several days in April and May, which was the apex of the pandemic's second wave.
