Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who yesterday received birthday greetings from political leaders and celebrities from across India and the world, last night tweeted a birthday wish. "Let us make our planet healthy," the Prime Minister urged people across the country, reminding them to wear masks and follow all the government-mandated coronavirus protocols.

"Since many have asked, what is it that I want for my birthday, here is what I seek right now: Keep wearing a mask and wear it properly. Follow social distancing. Remember 'Do Gaj Ki Doori.' (a distance of two yards). Avoid crowded spaces. Improve your immunity. Let us make our planet healthy," PM Modi tweeted.

His latest appeal comes amid a massive surge in India's coronavirus cases. The tally surged to 51 lakh cases on Thursday as the country saw a record spike of 97,894 fresh cases. Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Karnatakaka and Uttar Pradesh remain the worst-hit states.

1.Keep wearing a mask and wear it properly.

2.Follow social distancing. Remember 'Do Gaj Ki Doori.'

3.Avoid crowded spaces.
