Abstract

At the beginning of phase 4.0 of lockdown, every State /Union Territories(UT) needs to take appropriate mitigation efforts (lockdown and testing) that may change red zones to orange and even to green zones by May 31, 2020. On the contrary, negligence in following the guidelines (for interventions) strictly, may be alarming and may change green zone status to even the worst red zone status. This has been established through a Statistical model based study here. From the present investigation, the Government can decide the right measures to take up so as to reduce the transmission of the virus and to open partial economic activities in different districts of a state. The whole idea can also be extended to containment zones in a district with sufficient data at hand.
