As Lockdown 3.0 kicks in, the entire country has been divided into 3 zones depending upon the effects the Coronavirus pandemic has had on that geographical location. When it comes to stepping out of your house a good number of relaxations have been given by the Union Home Ministry depending on which zone you live in. While the Green zones have been allowed maximum number of activities including the use of public transport and buses, those living in the Orange and Red Zones can use their personal vehicles or cabs from today even for non-essential activities.
