According to Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Chief Minister, all cinemas in the city must remain close until the 31^st of March. He also said that colleges and schools, which have no exams going on will have to shut down until the end of this month.

India has 6,000 citizens stranded in Iran and since the latter country has no capacity to test these Indians, India decides to fly in equipment and experts to set up a lab there. Those who test negative for COVID-19 will be the first to be brought back to India.

The lab will be donated to Iran eventually. As India is treating patients of other nationals, the government said that it hoped other countries would do the same for Indians getting COVID-19 outside of the Indian territories.
