Activities permitted
under Consolidated Revised Guidelines issued by MHA will be applicable only in
North & Middle Andaman and Nicobar Districts
• However, it has been
decided to allow select additional activities in areas not demarcated as
containment zones by States/ UTs/ District Administrations from 20th
April and consolidated guidelines listing out all such activities have been
issued.
• The objective of the
revised guidelines is to consolidate the gains achieved during the 1st phase of
lockdown, further slowdown the spread of Covid-19 while at the same time
provide relief to farmers, labourers and daily wage earners.
• These guidelines
however shall be applicable to the Districts of North & Middle Andaman and
Nicobar only.
• The
activities permitted under the revised guidelines, from 20th April,
2020 will not be allowed in the entire
South Andaman District including Shaheed Dweep, Swaraj Dweep and Little
Andaman. The South Andaman District has been declared as a Hotspot District with
Clusters by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare due to identification of 4
new positive cases in past 3 days. Hence, no unchecked inward/ outward movement
of population would be allowed, except for maintaining essential services,
i.e., medical emergencies, law & order duties, and government business
continuity. Strict vigil will be kept to restrict movement in the
containment zone with only essential medical and food supplies being allowed to
move, surveillance activities and essential government work. Pharmacies and
groceries will be open and will work with strict social distancing and hygiene
practices. All non-emergency movement is strictly prohibited and wearing mask /
face cover is essential when stepping out of the house.
• Keeping
the imperative of containing the spread of COVID-19 in the country, National
Directives for COVID-19 management have been laid down, which shall be enforced
by the District Magistrates through fines and penal action as prescribed in the
Disaster Management Act, 2005 against all violators of the guidelines. The
public is hereby requested to abide by these guidelines.
