The Odisha Government has extended Covid lockdown in the State till June 17. There was no other option left with Covid cases staying in the range of 9000-11000 with some exceptions of below 7500 cases for 3 days owing to less testing.

Districts such as Khordha, Cuttack, Angul, Puri, Mayurbhanj continue to explode and Bhubaneswar remains worst-hit.

Relaxation given to Nuapada, Gajapati and Sundargarh with all Shops except Malls, Parlours and Salons to remain open from 7 AM to 1 PM.
