Covid-19: Lockdown extended by two weeks with effect from 4 May, says MHA


Ministry of Home Affairs issued an order under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 to further extend the lockdown for a period of two weeks beyond 4 May, 2020.
MHA has also issued new guidelines to regulate different activities in this period based on risk profiling of the districts of the country into Red (hotspot), Green and Orange zones

In Orange Zones, inter-district movement of individuals and vehicles will be allowed for permitted activities only. Four-wheelers will have a maximum of 2 passengers besides the driver and pillion riding will be allowed on two-wheelers, stated MHA.
Additionally, in Orange Zones, along with the activities permitted in Red Zone, taxis and cab aggregators will be permitted with one driver and two passengers.
The MHA also clarified that a limited number of activities will remain prohibited across India, irrespective of the zone, including travel by air, rail, metro and inter-State movement by road as well as running of schools, colleges, other educational and training/coaching centres

On 30 April, 2020, the Union Health Ministry had spelled out all major metropolitan cities—Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Ahmedabad—as red zones after the lockdown ends on May 3, and asked states and local bodies to demarcate containment areas and buffer zones for strict monitoring of movement.
Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have the highest number of red zones at 19 and 14 respectively, followed by Tamil Nadu at 12 and all of Delhi’s 11 districts marked as red zones.
The classification of the red, green and orange zones will be shared by health ministry with the State and Union Territories on a weekly basis or earlier as required, the MHA added

Aliens Really Exist Proof

The underwater alien base in Antarctica  In April, UFO hunters claimed a 500-metre-long object off the coast of Antarctica as an underwater alien lair. The website,  UFO Sightings Hotspot , believes it does not fit the normal iceberg description. “I’m not an iceberg expert but this object is really peculiar and looks like a vessel disguised as an iceberg,” the site reads.
