India coronavirus lockdown extended by two weeks with some easing

World’s biggest lockdown extended with ‘considerable relaxations’ in lower-risk areas marked as green and orange zones. The Indian government has extended the world’s biggest coronavirus lockdown by two weeks starting May 4, but with some easing of restrictions.

The lockdown imposed on March 25 has caused misery for millions of workers in India’s vast informal sector and dealt a major blow to Asia’s third-biggest economy.
