Delhi Containment Zones List Latest: As Unlock 2.0 begins with more focus on containment zones across the country, the number of containment zones in Delhi is fluctuating as a rigorous process of remapping the containment zones is going on.

About 397 zones are active containment zones, taking the tally of total actual remaining containment zones to 436. About 198 areas have been declared containment zones after June 21, 2020.

Why remapping is going on

According to reports, 19% of the COVID-19 cases in Delhi originated in containment zones and 45% from clusters. Hence, identifying these clusters was necessary. So, instead of clubbing containment zones together, the exercise focussed on breaking them down.
