Health ministry lists parameters for demarcating red, orange, green zones

The Union Health Ministry on Sunday listed parameters such as active COVID-19 cases, doubling and fatality rates and cases per lakh population, for the states and UTs to follow while categorizing areas into red, orange or green zones. It also issued guidelines for delineation of coronavirus containment and buffer zones and outlined the actions that have to be implemented in those areas to break the chain of transmission. In a letter to the states and Union Territories, Health Secretary Preeti Sudan said states may categorize districts or municipal corporations into hot spots, red, orange and green zones. They, however, may also choose to categorise sub-division, ward or any other appropriate administrative unit into the colour-coded zones after detailed analysis at their end, duly taking into consideration the geographical spread of cases, contacts and their zone of influence in terms of disease spread, the ministry said. 

 

This comes after the Home Ministry issued guidelines for the fourth phase of the nationwide lock down, giving power to the states and Union Territories to delineate red, green and orange zones as per the COVID-19 situation.
