Chandigarh seals part of Sector 30-B, Dhanas colony Even though Chandigarh has been identified as a containment zone as a whole, separate pockets were identified from where COVID cases were reported and they were sealed. Orders of sealing were issued in the morning.

The state government had already allowed these to open last Saturday, but the Union Home Secretary had rapped the state, calling it a violation of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. Punjab was the third state to be pulled up by the state after West Bengal and Kerala.

A number of restrictions on economic activities and services imposed as part of a nationwide lockdown will be relaxed from Monday in areas barring the containment zones demarcated by the states as the Centre looks to restart the economy after 26 days of shut down.

The Chandigarh government had come out with detailed guidelines for the phase-2 of the lockdown that will end on May 3, but some of the rules have since been tweaked, while some states have decided to forge their own path on reopening.

While Chandigarh looks forward to lift  restrictions till May 3, Delhi and Punjab have announced that the restrictions will remain in place despite the relaxations and exemptions that are set to come into effect from Monday.

The Chandigarh administration on Sunday asked medical stores and doctors to maintain a record
of people given medicine for  the treatment of flu and similar symptoms. The order issued by Chandigarh deputy comissioner  Mandip Singh Brar will come into  force from Monday and aimed at tracing coronavirus patients in the city, from where 26 cases have been reported so far.
