Based on an analysis of the Covid-19 situation in the state, the state government has found that micro-containment zones need to be set up in all places where clustering of cases is observed. Further, the surveillance action to trace the contacts and quarantine them effectively needs to be strengthened.

The decision has been taken as part of the measures being planned to ease the lockdown restrictions in the entire local bodies if the TPR is above 15%. The government is gearing up to provide relaxations in other wards and only those wards which have more TPR will be treated as micro-containment zones.
