The health ministry has defined three zones — Red, Orange and Green.
The Centre on Wednesday declared 170 districts in the country as coronavirus hotspots and 207 as non-hotspots. Hotspots are the regions that have reported a significant number of positive cases.
During the daily press briefing, Joint Secretary in the Ministry of Health Lav Agarwal stated that the government has asked the states to segregate the districts based on the number of cases they have reported. While the regions with the most cases are coronavirus hotspots, non-hotspots are those districts where less number of cases are found. The discricts where no case has been found is the green zone.
As per data till yesterday, 170 districts have been classified as hotspot districts. Non-hotspot districts where cases have been reported are 207 in number," adding "Cluster containment plan needs to be implemented in those 207 non-hotspots as they can develop as potential hotspots," Aggarwal said.
He also clarified that there's no community transmission yet in the country. "What we are seeing is some local outbreaks and clusters, where cluster and outbreak containment strategies are being adopted," he said.
Aggarwal further said that the cabinet secretary held a video conference today with all chief secretaries, DGPs, health secretaries, collectors, SPs, municipal commissioners and CMOs where hot spots was discussed and orientation on field level implementation of containment strategy was given.
