The Delhi High Court has entered public interest litigation that seeks a lockdown until June 30 in the capital of India. The petitioner claimed in the plea that lifting the lockdown will help the virus spread with no restrictions. The petitioner also wrote that the government and the police aren’t prepared for this outbreak if the restrictions are lifted. The court will hear the plea in the coming days.

In terms of community transmission, ICMR’s Director General denied that India was undergoing any possibility of such events. He said:

“But we are definitely, India is not in community transmission and I would like to emphasise it. India is not in community transmission and that's only a term which is used but we have to continue with the strategy of testing, tracing, tracking, and quarantine and continue with the containment measures as we have found success until now.”
