Metropolitan cities including Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad will continue to face lockdown restrictions as they are classified as red zones.
Districts are classified into three categories: red zones (high number of cases), orange zones (fewer cases), and green zones (no cases or no new cases in 21 days). This classification is based on the number of active cases, doubling rate, and testing.
