“The Centre and the state have been working with the same set of figures, they have given a terminology regarding which areas are called containment zones. A hotspot — labelled a red zone — would become an orange zone if no new cases are reported for 14 days. Even otherwise, wherever we felt necessary, containment measures for ensuring there is no spread outside those areas, we have been making all sorts of arrangements,” the chief secretary added. Union health officials said the hotspots would need to implement the strict containment measures outlined in the health ministry guidelines. The Centre — whether it is on lockdown, relaxation, restriction — the Union home ministry, cabinet secretary, health department, health ministry, everybody is saying everybody will work together as one,” he said.
