A majority of the states are already of the opinion that the Lockdown should be extended given the cases are increasing at a rapid pace. We are on the seventeenth day of Twenty One Days of Nationwide Lockdown. As the Lockdown is nearing completion, everyone is curious to see if it will be extended.
odisha already announced the extension until april 30th. Several other states are also looking to follow odisha in case the central government is not in favor of extending the Lockdown. Across the nation, there are 6,412 cases, according to the stats available with the Ministry of health and Family Welfare. Unofficial numbers say the cases will be more than 7,000. Experts say that with cases increasing, the government has no way but to extend the Lockdown at least till this month-end even though it will have huge financial implications.
