The government will follow a district-wise zone classification system in which all the districts will be classified under Red, Orange, and Green zone on the basis of COVID-19 cases and various restrictions and relaxations will be imposed on the basis of zones. The containment areas falling under Red and Orange zones will have additional restrictions. However, the zone classification is subject to change and will be revised on a weekly basis.
What Is A Green Zone?
Green Zones are districts with zero confirmed cases to date or districts with no confirmed cases in the last 21 days.
What Is A Red Zone?
Red Zones are districts with higher active cases, doubling rates of confirmed cases.
