1. Places of worship, hotels, restaurants and shopping malls will be allowed to remain open outside the containment zones — as they were in Unlock 1.0.

3. Schools, colleges and coaching institutions will remain closed till July 31, 2020.

4. Metro services will also remain shut.

5. Cinema halls, gymnasiums, swimming pools, entertainment parks, theatres, bars, auditoriums, assembly halls and similar places will not open.

7. There will be more trains and flights — which will be announced in the days to come.

8. Lockdown shall continue to be implemented strictly in the containment zones till July 31. These zones are required to be carefully demarcated by the state, UT governments with a view to containing the spread of COVID-19, after taking into consideration the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.

9. Within the containment zones, strict perimeter control shall be maintained and only essential activities allowed.

10. Training institutions of the Central and State Governments will be allowed to function with effect from July 15, 2020.
