The tips, efficient until May 31, will now be relevant until June 30.
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Thursday repeated the rules (beneath the Disaster Management Act, 2005) issued on April 29 to implement containment measures in districts the place both the check positivity charge has been greater than 10% previously one week or the place the mattress occupancy is greater than 60%.
Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla wrote to States that although strict implementation of containment and different measures has led to a declining pattern, the variety of new and lively COVID-19 circumstances “barring some areas in the southern and North-eastern regions” remains to be very excessive.
“In spite of declining trend, the number of active cases is still very high. It is therefore important that containment measures may continue to be implemented strictly. Any relaxation by States/UTs may be considered at an appropriate time, in a graded manner, after assessing the local situation, requirements and resources,” he said.
The tips, efficient until May 31, will now be relevant until June 30.
