The Union Home Ministry on Friday announced that the nationwide lockdown in India will be extended for two more weeks after May 4, noting that the country has been successful in averting more casualties from coronavirus.
According to the government, the six-week shutdown in India has helped in stemming the spread of COVID-19.
In a statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs noted that governments of all States and UTs have to strictly enforce lockdown phase 3 guidelines, without any dilution whatsoever.
States can impose additional restrictions on activities which are permitted, based on their own assessment, in order to check the spread of the contagion.
