The Ministry of Home Affairs on 27th May 2021 has extended the nationwide Covid-19 restrictions, till 30th June 2021 and has directed all the states to ensure compliance of containment measures taken in view of the second wave of COVID-19.
The containment measures were adopted on March 23 and were further till May 31. As per the guidelines, states and UTs were asked to take prompt and targeted action on specific districts/cities/areas in order to flattern the curve of the pandemic where a test positivity rate of 10% or more is reported over the past weeks or where over 60% of the ICU beds are occupied.
Any relaxation by states and UTs, may be considered at an appropriate time, in a graded manner, after assessing the local situation, requirements and resources.
