Chief Minister of Delhi Arwind Kejriwal announced that Delhi would shut down all the market and shield the borders from 6m on Monday.

Even personal and private cars will be banned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Only the essential services including police, healthcare and medical, fire department, prison, chemist shops, electricity and water departments, ATMs, petrol pumps and goods vehicles will be exempted from the lockdown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Karnataka will only allow the import and export of groceries, vegetables, meat, milk, fish and other food commodities. The Andhra Pradesh government has also instructed the people to stay in their homes. The groceries will be delivered to the doorsteps and people will not require to come out. Telangana and Uttarakhand have also closed its borders, and various tourist destinations like Goa and Mussoorie has banned the visitors. All the districts (about 80) have entered the lockdown phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

Severe measures are needed to be taken at this phase because India is right now at the second stage of the virus spread. The third stage, community spread, can make the situation out of control. Hence social distancing, self-quarantines are some critical measures that need to be practised in a highly populated and susceptible country like India.<\/span><\/p>\n
