Bengal Extends Lockdown In Containment Zones, Gives Relaxation For Bakra Eid

Kolkata:

The West Bengal Executive on Tuesday introduced the extension of lockdown in containment zones until August 31, which was once previous in position until the tip of July.

The state can even follow entire lockdown on Saturdays and Sundays. On the other hand, the similar may not be noticed this weekend as a result of Mulsim pageant Eid al-Adha.

Talking to media, state Leader Minister Mamata Banerjee stated, “We’re extending lockdown in containment zones until August 31, that was once previous in position until July 31.”

“Executive products and services will cross on as same old. Personal organisations too can run their places of work, however whilst keeping up COVID norms like dressed in mask, gloves, sanitising palms amongst others. We will be able to attempt to damage the COVID chain two times every week by means of implementing an entire lockdown in containment zones until August 31. On the other hand, on August 15, there will probably be no entire lockdown. Handiest small ceremonies will probably be allowed, the Leader Minister stated.”

“No entire lockdown this Saturday and Sunday as a result of the Eid al-Adha. Request everybody to rejoice the day by means of keeping up COVID norms. On the other hand, no meeting or gatherings will probably be allowed outdoor as we’ve got barriers because of lockdown. From subsequent week, we can introduce entire lockdowns throughout each and every weekend,” she added.

The West Bengal govt has shaped 8 groups beneath IAS officials to watch emerging COVID circumstances in different districts of the state.
