The rapid increase of the Novel Coronavirus or COVID-19 infection is not only creating panic amongst Indians, with a question, whether the lockdown would continue.

Concerned about the drastic rise in COVID-19 positive cases, a few state governments took independent decisions and extended lockdown in their states. However, many Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) run states are still waiting for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision. Telangana, Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Karnataka and Odisha announced to extend the lockdown till the 30th of April.
In a recent meeting with the chief ministers of states, PM Modi hinted at an extension in the lockdown. However, no official announcement regarding it came yet.
Since the lockdown ends on the 14th of April, Nation is waiting to witness PM Modi’s call on the lockdown extension or the alternative to curb the spread of the virus in India.
