COVID-19 IN CHENNAI: CHECK THE CONTAINMENT ZONES AND STREETS IN YOUR AREA THROUGH GOOGLE MAPS; DETAILS HERE

Many initiatives are being taken by the state and the centre to keep the public informed regarding the number of people affected by COVID-19. However, the latest one is extremely informative, especially for the residents of Chennai. In order to curb the spread of the infection, streets where infected people reside or resided are being blocked, thereby making it impossible for the others to access the road. Such roads or areas are coming to be known as containment zones.

More than two hundred roads have been blocked in Chennai, from the 15 Zones. This latest initiative involves a Google map that provides a proper list of the names of the streets which have been locked down, from their respective zones, along with red flags marked on each containment zone.
