NEW DELHI: As the ongoing lockdown has been extended up to May 31, the Centre on Sunday evening issued new guidelines authorizing States and Union Territories to categorize Red, Green and Orange zones taking into consideration the parameters shared by the Health Ministry.
“The zones can be a district, or a municipal corporation/ municipality or even smaller administrative units such as sub-divisions, as decided by States and UTs”, the new guidelines read. Inside the red/orange zones, containment and buffer zones will be identified by the district administration/local urban bodies with technical inputs at local level and by taking into consideration the Health Ministry guidelines.
