India's six-week coronavirus lockdown, which was supposed to end on Monday, has been extended for another two weeks, with a few relaxations such as construction resuming and self-employed people returning to work in New Delhi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi locked India down on March 24, when the country had just 469 confirmed virus cases. In mid-April, Modi extended the lockdown for two weeks.
