Globally, 126,811 people have died from Covid-19 and confirmed infections have reached 2,004,383. The Ministry of Home Affairs today issued coronavirus guidelines for lockdown 2.0, permitting all agricultural, e-commerce and construction activities from April 20 in regions that have been successful in containing the spread of the virus.
