India against COVID-19, the situation in Mizoram

The National Portal of India reports that Mizoram remains under a 14-day total lockdown of 6th phase till today, 22 June. This has been imposed due to the rise of a significant number of COVID-19 cases in the state and also for the rapid rise in a number of positive cases in the neighbouring states.

Shops and markets are imposed with restrictions for functioning from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m, with the maintenance of social distancing and wearing of face mask. The 7th Phase lockdown from tomorrow will remain effective in containment zones, identified as areas under the jurisdiction of Aizawl Municipal area and all district headquarters.

On the other side, the rural areas will remain exempted from the strict rules of lockdown as they remain out of the danger zone. A ban on inter-state transport except carrying essential goods is imposed. Also, stranded people after returning to the state will be put in 21-day institutional quarantine.
