Apart from this, the information of the contentment zone of that district should be posted on the website of the district collector and also sent to the Union Ministry of Health.

As per the directions of the government, programs will be started outside the containment zone by railways, airlines, metros, schools, educational institutions, hotels, restaurants, hotels, malls, multiplexes, yoga centers and gyms.
