In the wake of the rapid rise in novel coronavirus cases in the country and especially in Bihar, the state government has decided to enforce a lockdown in the city of Patna. The lockdown will be observed from tomorrow onwards. Movement of vehicles will be regulated for a week and only essential services will be permitted from 10 July 2020. Commercial activities, offices and markets will be closed or banned during the lockdown period. Private vehicles have been banned except for essential services and medical emergencies. One needs to obtain an e-pass to ply in public roads. The lockdown period begins on 10 July and ends on 16 July 2020. The COVID-19, which was first reported in late 2019, has spread rapidly across continents and affected several lives in all countries. Currently, India is the third worst-affected country in the world.
