Centre extends lockdown till May 17th

In a big breaking news the Centre has extended the lockdown by two more weeks. The union ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued a press statement regarding the same and also issued guidelines for Red, Green and Orange zones.

Surprisingly this time PM Narendra Modi did not turn up to address the nation to announce this lockdown extension which was not expected at all. Many expected that PM Modi would address the gathering on May 3rd night to make a statement on lockdown.

The MHA press release states the lockdown will be up to May 17th. The Centre has provided exemptions in Green and orange zones while strict restrictions will continue in Red and containment zones.
