States Rush To Identify High-Risk Zones To Remain In Lockdown

Jun 1, 2020 | Pratirodh Bureau

States on Sunday began identifying high-risk zones where coronavirus lockdown should continue while the rest of the country gears up to reopen in June despite a record rise in COVID-19 cases, officials said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has extended the lockdown until June 30 in so-called containment zones that should remain under lockdown because they continue to report a high number of infections.

But restaurants, malls and religious buildings are permitted to reopen elsewhere from June 8 as India loosens the world’s longest lockdown to curb the spread of the pandemic.

India has reported 182,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 5,164 deaths.

In Uttar Pradesh, the country’s most populous state, a health official said 1,111 containment zones have been identified, while authorities in Gujarat said that more than 400,000 houses were marked as high-risk zones.

Officials in Maharastra said all markets, except malls and congested spaces, will be allowed to function in a staggered manner.

West Bengal identified 285 containment zones in its capital Kolkata.

In a radio address to the nation on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned citizens to remain vigilant.

“The fight against the coronavirus is intense, we cannot drop our guard,” he said.

The number of cases reached a daily record high in the past 48 hours, two months after the Central government enforced a rigid lockdown to stop the pandemic from spreading in a country of more than 1.3 billion people.

Critics said Modi had now left states with the responsibility of establishing rules to contain the virus.
