As India’s deadly Covid-19 second wave has claimed a record 3,689 more lives, Haryana joined several other states that have been forced to reimpose lockdown in a desperate bid to check the surge amid a grievous shortage of hospital beds, medicines and oxygen for patients.
The Haryana government has imposed a week-long lockdown in the entire state beginning today (5 am onwards) till 10 May (5 am).
Earlier, a weekend curfew was enforced in nine districts — Gurugram, Faridabad, Panchkula, Sonipat, Rohtak, Karnal, Hisar, Sirsa and Fatehabad — from 10 pm on Friday till 5 am on Monday. As Haryana is reeling under the Covid-19 surge, the authorities have issued new guidelines for the state.
