India the third-most hit country from the virus after the United States and Brazil. Vaccination drives have been intensified amid the recent surge of cases, and many states are considering imposing fresh curbs on movement of people.

When India launched the Covid 19 vaccine in people expected that the end of Coronavirus is near. The active cases and deaths due to the pandemic also reduced and life returned back on track for many who were locked behind closed doors. Just when the country stopped caring about the Coronavirus situation, it again hit the people with the second wave and now the situation is the same as in 2020 with one question in everybody's mind-Will India go under lockdown again?

With Maharashtra Covid cases scaling high, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said on Friday that there is still a 'possibility' of lockdown to tackle the concerning situation of Covid-19. 

"I want to appeal to everyone once more today. We have become a little complacent. Everything has started – weddings, agitations as if coronavirus has completely gone. We have to be careful," Thackeray said in his address.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday said the ongoing wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in the Capital is not as serious as the previous waves and hence there is no need of imposing any lockdown. "We will be reviewing the situation. In future, if the need for a lockdown arises, I will consult before taking any such decision," the Chief Minister said, adding that though it is being considered the second wave in the country, it is the fourth wave for Delhi.
