The state government has extended the lockdown for 15 more days with some relaxations. It has decided to divide affected areas according to containment zones (category A), buffer zones (category B), and clean zones (category C).
A containment zone is called an "affected area" in West Bengal and the roads around it are "buffer zones".
Citing an increase in COVID-19 cases, the containment areas in the city are sealed with barricading and continue to remain under strict vigil with regular sanitisation. Only essential services and medical emergency are allowed in those areas.
