The nation-wide lockdown which was supposed to end on May 3 has now been further extended till May 17 for two more weeks as coronavirus cases in the country are still on a rising graph. Though the doubling rate of COVID-19 cases has slowed down, a positive development, but still the country is witnessing an average increase of over 1,000 cases in a day, therefore, the lockdown has been extended for 14 more days. However, Lockdown 3.0 will be a little different from the earlier two lockdown period. This time, the government has given relaxations in green zones (having no coronavirus cases), orange zones (having few coronavirus cases) subject to conditions but no relaxations have been given to the regions falling under the red zones, apart from ones that are already in place. With shutdown extended to two more weeks, take a look at big takeaways on Lockdown 3.0 in India.
