Lockdown 3.0: Know about the new lockdown guidelines and restrictions in each zone

The lockdown has been extended yet again till 17 May, but this time some guidelines have been diluted. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has categorized each district into red, orange, and green zones, and different levels of activities are allowed in each zone. The 733 districts of India have been broadly divided into Red Zones, Orange Zones and Green Zones. The zone classification determines the kind of restrictions placed on the movement of people and the supply of goods in a district.
