The MHA on Friday, while extending the lockdown for two more weeks till May 17, lifted many restrictions in green and orange zones.

There are no restrictions on sale of non-essential items by e-commerce platforms in green and orange zones, a Home Ministry spokesperson said, adding barber shops and salons are also allowed to open in these areas. In red zones, the e-commerce companies are allowed to sell only essential commodities.

Barber shops and salons are not allowed to open in red zones as these are services not goods. Sale of liquor is allowed in green, orange and red zones, which is not under containment. Liquor sale is allowed in green, orange and red zones if it is a standalone shop and not located in markets or malls in red zone. According to the health ministry, as on Friday, there were 130 ‘Red’ zones in the country with maximum of 19 in Uttar Pradesh, followed by 14 in Maharashtra.
