New Delhi, April 21:
After May 3, there may be conditional relief from the nationwide lockdown, but in parts of the country least affected by coronavirus, sources said on Tuesday ahead of an assessment by a group of ministers this evening.
The lockdown is unlikely to be extended beyond May 3 but rules like social distancing and masks will stay.
A group of ministers headed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will meet this evening and a lockdown exit plan is likely to be discussed.
There is no talk of extending the lockdown beyond May 3, sources say.
But a reprieve is likely only in “green zones” or the areas least affected by the COVID-19 infection. Restrictions are likely to continue in areas marked as containment zones because of a large number of coronavirus cases.
