Amid the rising coronavirus COVID-9 cases in India, it is highly unlikely that Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre would impose a full lockdown across India like last year to break the chain of coronavirus transmission.
Despite mini-lockdown in 150 districts across the country and the positivity rate touching above 15% countrywide, the Centre may not impose a lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19. The Centre, however, has directed states and Union Territories to impose curbs and implement ‘customised lockdowns’ to curb the spread of coronavirus. It is to be noted that lockdown-like restrictions are already in place in nearly 10 states and UTs.
