To implement stricter measures against the current outbreak in the country, the government has classified 170 hotspots in the Red zones and 207 non-hotspot districts with clusters and non-infected areas are classified as green zones.
Red Zones are those areas where coronavirus cases are emerging in large numbers and the growth rate is high. Districts which are witnessing few cases are called non-hotspots. Green Zones are those where there are no coronavirus cases.
