the health structure is very good, not only at the private level but also at the state level

"I thought it couldn't be done, but on March 20, when the first day of confinement was declared,
there was nothing on the street
in India," he said.
"The only cars that I could see at one point were the police, the Army and a couple of ambulances," he said.
And he concluded: “
The rest were all strictly complying with the confinement.
There were people who had to climb a tree to fulfill the isolation.
In India the opposites are true,
”he commented.
