India will remain under lockdown for another 19 days till May 3 after the government decided to extend the 21-day lockdown on Tuesday. PM Modi had hinted of lifting harsh measures of lockdown post-April 20 after a fair assessment of a particular area on the basis of the number of cases and the chance of the area becoming the hotspot for the Coronavirus. The Ministry of Home Affairs on Wednesday issued fresh guidelines for enforcing the second phase of the coronavirus lockdown. Here's a list of activities that are allowed under the MHA guidelines:
1). All kinds of essential services have been exempted from restrictions. These services include all health workers - doctors, nurses, hospital staff, and sanitation workers.
2). Media persons belonging to print and electronic media have also been exempted from lockdown, though they too can't enter the containment zones, also known as hotspots.
3). Homes of children, disabled, mentally challenged or senior citizens, women, among others will also remain open.
4). Movement, loading or unloading of goods cargo - both inter or intrastate - will be allowed.
5). MNREGA works are allowed with strict implementation of social distancing and use of face mask.
6). Hotels, homestays, lodges and motels will remain operational.
