Central Govt ordered for lockdown in West Bengal with curfew, and containment zones.

The Corona Pandemic virus is on the rise across the country. The number of corona cases is increasing at an uncontrolled rate. The death toll is jumping high day by day. The central and state governments have been reluctant to deal with such a crisis. This time, the Center has sent several letters of advice and instructions to states to deal with Corona. The letter has also reached the hands of West Bengal.

The letter from Union Health Secretary Ajay Bhalla advised states to take various steps after reviewing Corona’s situation. He called for an area closure, a ban on large gatherings, cuts in public transport, and even a curfew. The new Center guidelines also mention the creation of a Contentment Zone. In these containment zones, 50 and 20 people have been invited to weddings and mourning ceremonies, respectively. The closure of religious, political, and social gatherings of all kinds in these containment areas has been ordered.

In these guidelines, the Center has instructed states to be more vigilant in dealing with corona vaccination and corona rules. In the last 24 hours, the number of Corona victims in the country has reached a record quota of three and a half lakhs.

According to the health department, 15,992 people reported Covid 19 positive. Although slightly higher than yesterday, Monday’s Corona test was comparatively lower than Sunday’s. Of these, 3.7 people were infected with Corona in Kolkata and 3,425 in North 24 Parganas. Currently, the total number of corona cases in the state is 8 lakh, 59,942 people. Also, 68 people died in Corona in the last 24 hours in West Bengal.
