The extended lockdown is expected to be a mix of regulated relaxations and strictly enforced restrictions depending on the spread and threat perception of the Coronavirus pandemic in respective districts. The districts will be classified into three categories — red, orange and green depending on the level of precautions to be taken there. Limited services are expected to be allowed in the safe zones but the dangerous ones would be out of bounds for human movement till April 30.

Maharashtra Chief Secretary Ajoy Mehta notified the extension on Monday afternoon saying it was expedient to take measures to contain the spread of the virus. The notification renewed the national lockdown order issued on April 24. The CS did not specify region-specific nitty-gritty because the measures would vary from one place to another. PM Narendra Modi will address the nation on Tuesday morning to spell out national measures based on which the states would prepare their own plans and alter them as needed.
