Furthermore, the total number of cases in Rajasthan stands at 5,64,000. Also, the number of cases reported in the last 24 hours is 16,613.
Amid the surge in Covid-19 cases, the Rajasthan government, on 19th April, has already announced a lockdown that has to remain in effect till the 3rd of May, 2021. There has been the imposition of several restrictions on the movement of people but at the same time, supply of essentials like medicines, groceries, milk, etc has not been impeded.
In addition to this, industrials units are also allowed to function so that the migrant workers do not have to any inconvenience. Though, it will also help cast aside the unnecessary movement of the workers.
