The state health department will take a decision on the announcement of micro containment zones in north Bengal after the declaration of the Assembly election results on May 2.
Sushanta Roy, deputed by the state government as the officer on special duty for Covid-19 in north Bengal, said on Friday that the decision would be made in consultation with district administrations.
“There is an apprehension that the number of Covid cases will increase in May and June. That is why it has been planned to identify areas where the number of cases are high and declare those as micro containment zones, instead of declaring a general lockdown in a town or a village. The health department is preparing a map in this regard and after May 2, steps would be taken to declare such zones,” said Roy.
