The central government has issued a new set of guidelines that must be followed for the next two and half weeks till the lockdown gets over. From 20 April, there will be a huge relief for India’s agricultural and certain industrial sectors in places that are not COVID-19 hotspots.

Agriculture and marketing activities, digital economy, banks, plantations for tea and coffee, food processing industries, fisheries, construction of roads and other projects, central and state government offices are some of the main industries that will be opened from 20 April.

Inter-state and international transport, education institutions, cinema, parks, hospitality services, hotels, industrial and commercial activities, religious centres and shopping complexes will remain closed.
