To step up the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic in the country, India’s districts will now be classified into three categories—hotspot districts which report a large number of positive cases, non-hotspot districts which record a few coronavirus cases and green zones which have not reported fresh cases for some time. On the first day of Lockdown 2.0, the Union government has issued guidelines to all states for dealing with Covid-19 hotspots nationwide to contain the spread of coronavirus, a health ministry official said.
“There is no community transmission in the country so far. There are only local outbreaks and cluster cases in hotspots. To contain the spread of the virus and to break the chain, we need to engage the community. Our major challenge is to implement our containment strategy amid the lockdown and also ensure social distancing,” Lav Aggarwal, Joint Secretary, Health Ministry said at the daily news briefing.
“Covid-19 hotspots and green zones have been identified and door-to-door surveys are being conducted in hotspots. The ministry has identified 170 districts as hotspots, and 207 districts as non-hotspots. Curbs will gradually be eased in the districts which have been identified as green zones,” he said.
