“In areas where 60 out of every 100,000 people are infected with Covid-19, the area will be declared a ‘red zone’ and brought under lockdown. We thought if we could do a zone-based lockdown now, maybe it could be controlled. ”
Prior to this, there was a total of 7 days of public holiday in several phases from March 26 to prevent coronavirus infection. The office was then opened conditionally from May 31 to June 15. Besides, public transport and domestic aviation were introduced.
The area that will be the ‘red zone’ will be blocked. There will be a general holiday in that area. The lockdown in the red zone will be implemented by the concerned city corporation or municipality, and the district administration.
“The lockdown in the red zone will be effective for 14 to 21 days. There will be a Covid-19 test booth. There will be doctors and ambulances. All food, medicine, and market arrangements will be fully inside. The area will be cordoned off from all sides to keep people out.” Can’t get out, and no one can get in from the outside. ”
However, areas outside the ‘red zone’ will no longer be given general leave, and will continue to operate on a limited scale, as it is now, in accordance with health regulations.
“Our goal is to reduce the number of infections, which is why offices, courts, banks, and other institutions have a limited range of operations, which will continue for a few more days. Public transport will also continue.”
The areas to be locked down have already been finalized and a comprehensive announcement will be made in this regard, said State Minister for Public Administration.
