By MYBRANDBOOK
In 75 districts of India a lockdown has been announced to lessen the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic. Till the end of the month, Section 144 has been imposed in cities like Mumbai.
In different parts of India trains and other means of transport between states have been shut down to stem the spread of coronavirus, which has affected more than 2.6 lakh people and close to 11,000 lives (WHO data).
The announcement of lockdown comes after India was under a 14-hour long voluntary curfew, acting on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's appeal to "add tremendous strength to the fight" against the disease.

People can go out for necessities – only in their vicinity – as the CM announced that essential services will continue to function, and people belonging to these services will be exempted from the lockdown.

Hospitals
Fire stations, police stations, and prison departments
Ration shops
