NIGHT CURFEW

Instead of 7pm-7am, the night curfew for non-essential activities will now be in force for a shorter duration of eight hours

CONTAINMENT ZONES

Till June 30, the lockdown will continue in containment zones — to be identified by districts as per central guidelines

Only essential activities will be allowed in these areas. Strict perimeter control will ensure no movement of people in or out of these zones, except for medical emergencies and essential supplies States/UTs can identify buffer zones, which are adjoining areas, and impose curbs

States/UTs may prohibit certain activities outside containment zones based on their assessment, but they are not allowed to dilute the central guidelines
