“Covid-19 specifically attacks our respiratory system, which gets strengthened by ‘Pranayama’ or breathing exercise,” he said as he appealed to people to learn various Pranayam techniques to combat the Covid-19 crisis.
The theme for this year’s International Yoga Day is ‘Yoga at home.’ However, due to the Covid-19 outbreak, no public mass event has been organised this time, which the Prime Minister has led in the past.
