It is a common picture of the present time that the huge strata of the world’s population are facing confinement that has been implemented by their respective governmental bodies in order to break the chain of the virus spread from the infected ones to the others. Also, this approach has been proven successful in restricting and decimating the overall harm caused by the pandemic to the general public. However, according to the studies conducted by some experts, the implementation of the national lockdown has had a significant impact on the economies of several developed and developing nations.
Yet it should not be forgotten that the extended lockdown in India tends to be a pivotal approach followed by the central government to minimize the total number of infected cases in the country, and to break the contagious spread of the COVID-19. A recent report shared by the national health ministry has revealed the COVID-19 cases have crossed the total figure of 10,000 along with the fatalities in hundreds in contrast to the thousands seen in the other nations such as Italy, United States, Spain and so forth.

The government of India in collaboration with the health department has identified 170 districts where the volume of COVID-19 cases is higher and is termed as the Coronavirus hotspots. Also, according to the report, there are 207 districts that have been titled as the non-hotspots, whereas all others are recognized as the green zone.
New Delhi is one of the areas having a huge number of Coronavirus cases. A total of over 900 confirmed cases has been reported in the capital city of India so far. Consequently, the government of Delhi has identified and sealed 30 hotspots across the national capital.
