Last week, the Indian government extended the lockdown by two weeks. However, it divided its 733 districts into Red, Orange, and Green zones to denote the severity of the spread of coronavirus in those areas (red being the worst affected). Currently, 130 districts are classified as Red, 284 as Orange, and 319 as Green. Earlier this morning, Uber said it’s resuming its services in Green and Orange zones.
