Lucknow, JNN. Lockdown 4.0 has been implemented since Monday, with no expected improvement in lockdown three times in the country to curb the global pandemic corona virus infection. Strictness has also been increased in Uttar Pradesh, while a small relaxation has been given on relief sites. The lockdown in the country as well as Uttar Pradesh has now been extended till 31 May.
The states’ opinions have been taken into consideration in the guidelines issued for the fourth phase of nationwide lockdown. Guidelines have been prepared on the basis of the views expressed in the meeting of the Chief Ministers of the states with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 11 May. Fines will have to be paid if you leave without mask, noisily from Monday. Fines like eating pan, gutkha, khaini in public places will also attract a fine. Police can also take action for this.
A nationwide lockdown was imposed on March 24 following a public curfew on March 22 to prevent the spread of the corona virus. The rules were quite strict in the first lockdown. This was followed by Lockdown 2.0 starting from 15 April, lasting till 3 May. The lockdown was extended again when Corona cases did not decrease, ending on May 17. Now the fourth phase of lockdown will run till 31 May.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had indicated a few days in advance that there would not be much scope for relaxation in lockdown 4.0 in the state. CM Yogi Adityanath said that this time is very challenging and he does not want community spreading. He said that we are finding it difficult to give more leeway in Lockdown 4 as well. Meanwhile, making arrangements for those who are coming from other states and cities is our first priority.
Relaxation in some restrictions and change in some conditions
In the midst of efforts to curb the corona infection, the country has also extended the lockdown period in Uttar Pradesh to 31 May. While many restrictions have been relaxed in Lockdown-4, some conditions have also been changed. Under the new guidelines of the central government, now state governments have been empowered to be able to divide the zone from their level. Accordingly, the lockdown rules will be implemented. The Red, Green and Orange zones can be decided on different basis in the states.
This is the guideline of lockdown 4
