New Delhi (NVI): The Centre is thinking of extending the nationwide 21-day COVID-19 lockdown after receiving requests in this regard from a number of states as well as experts, according to government sources.
The development took place even as India entered the 14th day of lockdown that was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 24.
Indications for extending the COVID-19 restrictions have come from Telangana, Rajasthan, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh, according to sources.
However, there has been no official announcement from the Central Government regarding the extension of lockdown, so far.
The country is currently under a 21-day lockdown from March 25 to April 14 in the wake of deadly coronavirus pandemic that has claimed over 75,000 lives and infected over 13.5 lakh people across the world.
Meanwhile, the death toll due to COVID-19 in India has risen to 114, while the total number of cases has climbed to 4,421, according to Health Ministry.
