Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his special address to the nation announced that India would be in lockdown until May 3. The prime minister said the decision to extend the nation-wide lockdown for another 3 weeks comes after consultation with chief ministers, officials and subject-matter experts. Modi, however, announced that certain relaxations will be allowed in areas with the least COVID-19 hotspots from April 20. The measure is aimed at allowing minimum economic activity to aid the labourers and daily wagers. The relaxations would be allowed only if measures of social distancing are strictly followed, he added.
