Neelu Ranjan, New Delhi. The central government has extended the lockdown to 31 May to prevent the corona from spreading. In lockdown-four, all other economic activities have been allowed except the Containment Zone. But the ban on malls, cinema halls, restaurants, hotels, metro, rail and air services will continue as before. This time the definition of red, orange and green zones will remain the same, but the responsibility of deciding the area under it has been assigned to the states.
All activities other than restricted activities in the country will be exempted
In the guidelines issued for the lockdown-four, the Ministry of Home Affairs has made it very clear that all the activities except the specially restricted activities will be completely exempted. But no activity will be allowed in the Containment Zone except for essential services. However, even outside the Containment Zone, the State Governments can ban some other activities on the basis of assessment of the ground situation.
Curfew from seven in the evening to seven in the morning
The Home Ministry has made it clear that the curfew will continue during the lockdown-four from seven in the evening to seven in the morning and no one will be allowed to move out except for essential services. Metro, airplanes and rail will not run as before, but special trains and air services will continue to take migrant laborers and other stranded people from one place to another. At the same time, schools, colleges and other educational institutions, hotels, restaurants, bars, cinema halls, malls etc. will remain closed.
What will be restricted
Religious, political, cultural, social and sports gatherings will remain banned as before. There will be a ban on the leaving of home for the elderly over 65 and under 10 years of age, as well as pregnant women and patients suffering from serious illness throughout the country. They can only go out for urgent work or for treatment. Consumption of gutka, pan-masala, cigarettes and alcohol will be banned. The ban on the wedding of more than 50 people and the participation of more than 20 people in the funeral will continue. States have been asked to take strict legal action against those who violate it.

Most activities allowed across the country
In a way, the government has allowed all the activities across the country in lockdown-four. It neither categorizes industries nor restricts any type of services. That is, taxi services like E-Commerce to Ola-Uber can now be started. Strict rules for two-wheeler and car seating have also been lifted. In the first two-wheeler, only one person was allowed to sit in the car except the driver. There is no classification of shops in the market either. That is, all kinds of shops including salons, beauty parlors will be opened here. But a six-foot distance would have to be kept at the shop and no more than five people would be allowed at a time.
Staff limit was also abolished
The state or local administration may decide to close some of these shops. Like last time, this time the 33 percent staff limit has also been abolished in all offices. But before going to the office, it is mandatory to check the sanitizer and body temperature. The office was also asked to maintain two yards inside. For this it is recommended to encourage work from home. As such, the use of sanatorium bridges has not been made mandatory. But the guidelines recommend it to be effective in the immediate identification of an infected person of Corona and use it at the most place of work and place of work.
Permission granted to sports activities
The biggest thing is that for the first time sports activities are allowed to be started in lockdown. For this, the stadium and sports complex have been allowed to open. But the audience ban will continue. The Home Ministry made it clear that there will be no restriction on the movement of goods and trucks in one-to-one states. At the same time, the state governments will not be able to obstruct the movement of goods on the international borders by road. This time it has been specially mentioned. It is worth noting that there was a thaw between West Bengal and the Center to stop the movement of trucks along the Bangladesh border.
