“Till 20th April, all districts, localities, states will be closely monitored, as to how strictly they are implementing norms. States which will not let hotspots increase, they could be allowed to let some important activities resume, but with certain conditions,” said PM Modi.
The decision was taken after PM Modi held consultations with Chief Ministers through video-conferencing earlier on Saturday.
Few states have already announced the extension of lockdown.
India’s total COVID-19 positive cases has climbed to 10,363 including 8,988 active cases and 339 deaths, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare said.
