The all India lockdown has been extended till 3rd May. Today, the Ministry of Home Affairs )(MHA) has released detailed guidelines to be followed. The revised guidelines allow additional economic activities with effect from 20-Apr subject to the safety and social distancing standard operating procedure (SOP) provided in the order. However, this relaxation will not be applicable in the containment zones/hotspots identified by the State and UT administration and only those industry/services will be allowed to operate in these hotspots as allowed by the Ministry of Health & Family Affairs.
Employees who are part of the industry/services exempted from the lockdown order will work from the worksites. Among other safety measures, the MHA has mandated employers to provide mandatory insurance for all workers who will be working from these worksites. The employer has to arrange for transportation for employees which will operate only at 30-40% of their passenger capacity to maintain social distance. Regarding employees who will not be able to work due to the lockdown, the MHA has not issued any further order. The earlier order by MHA, mandating payment of salary to all workers who are not able during the lockdown, continues to operate.
