Covid-19 outbreak: Restrictions in containment zones during lockdown 3.0

The government has said containment zones are the most sensitive areas from the point of view of the spread of coronavirus

Containment zones are those areas where cases of coronavirus (Covid-19) have been detected. The containment operation includes sealing of the area with police barricades and shutting the entry and exit with tin walls. 

Among all the zones to be delineated during the third phase of the lockdown starting May 4, the containment zones, which have a high-risk of the spread of Covid-19 disease, will see the most stringent restrictions. The government has said these will either be in red zones or orange zones.

The health ministry has emphasised that containment zones should be delineated duly taking into account mapping of cases
