Phase 1 (25 March – 14 April)

The lockdown restricts people from stepping out of their homes.[6] All transport services – road, air and rail were suspended with exceptions for transportation of essential goods, fire, police and emergency services.[7] Educational institutions, industrial establishments and hospitality services were also suspended.[7] Services such as food shops, banks and ATMs, petrol pumps, other essentials and their manufacturing are exempted.[8] The Home Ministry said the anyone who fails to follow the restrictions can face up to a year in jail.[7]

Phase 3 (4 May – 17 May)

On 1 May, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Government of India (GoI) further extended the lockdown period to two weeks beyond 4 May, with some relaxations.[10]

Phase 4 (18 May – 31 May)
