The “sealing” orders prompted panic purchases in some areas of Noida on Wednesday.
On Wednesday, the Uttar Pradesh government decided to completely shut down coronavirus hot spots in 15 districts, including Noida, to further contain the spread of COVID-19.
Speaking to The Indian Express, Chief Secretary RK Tiwari said, “So far we have decided to seal the hot spots in these 15 districts, where the rest of the normal blockade of the district would continue. Critical points are locations from which a group of coronavirus cases has been reported. These places would be sealed and only medical services and home delivery would be allowed in these areas. ” (Here is also a list of containment areas in New Delhi)
