Chief Minister Hemant Soren on Sunday said a "total" lockdown will continue in Jharkhand for the next two weeks and the Centre's relaxation guidelines will not be applicable in the state.
The relaxations given by the central government during the lockdown would not be applied in the state to protect the health of people, he said.
On May 1, the Ministry of Home Affairs announced a "limited" lockdown. The suspension of air, train and inter-state road travel will continue to remain in force across the country for two more weeks from May 4, but some activities will be allowed after a classification of districts into "Red", "Orange" and "Green" zones, based on COVID-19 risk-profiling, it said.
Taking to Twitter, Soren said, "As a precaution, the lockdown will continue in Jharkhand for the next two weeks."
