With the surge in the number of cases, the government has appealed people to follow the lockdown strictly and has urged the countrymen to avoid all ‘non-essential’ travel.
On Friday, the central government also asked states to immediately strengthen the surveillance of international travelers who entered the country before the lockdown as there appeared to be a "gap" between the actual monitoring for COVID-19 and the total arrivals.
