The West Bengal government has so far identified over 32 areas as containment zones in South 24 Parganas as of May 13. The authorities have shifted from large containment zones to micro-zone plan. The areas have been completely sealed, and the authorities disallowed the entry and exit to those locations in order to contain the virus.

What are containment zones?

The Ministry of Health defines COVID-19 containment zones as the area where several positive cases of Coronavirus are found. “The cluster containment strategy would be to contain the disease within a defined geographic area by detecting cases in the nascent stage, breaking the chain of transmission and preventing its spread to new areas. This would include geographic quarantine, social distancing measures, enhanced active surveillance, testing all suspected cases, isolation of cases, quarantine of contacts and risk communication to create awareness among the public on preventive public health measures,” said the Ministry of Health.
