The spike in coronavirus cases in India has prompted several state governments to announce a total lockdown, especially in containment zones. Karnataka has announced a total lockdown from 14 July onwards for a period of 7 days and ends on 22nd July morning. West Bengal has extended the lockdown to 19 July which was supposed to end on 15 July. Tripura state government has announced a total lockdown in areas bordering Bangladesh. During the lockdown in Karnataka, only essential services will be allowed while liquor shops, bars and malls will be closed. Karnataka has witnessed a sudden spike in COVID-19 cases, especially in the districts of Bengaluru Urban and Bengaluru Rural. This has prompted the CM to announce a total lockdown in containment zones across the state and not restricted only to Bengaluru. The novel coronavirus has spread across the world and has affected several lives.
