Demarcation of containment zones serves the same purpose as lockdown and classification of districts, but at a more micro level.
About:
In the current pandemic, all interventions are primarily geared towards reducing people-to-people contact, and thus breaking the chain of transmission to the extent possible. That is the objective with which the containment zones are demarcated.
Demarcation of containment zones is done within a town, village, or municipal or panchayat area.
Neighbourhoods, colonies, or housing societies where infected people live are sealed, and access is restricted. Containment zones are where the restrictions on movement and interaction are the most severe.
It is the district, town or panchayat authorities that decide which areas have to be marked as containment zones, how large they would be, and what kind of restrictions would apply.
The definition and time period vary, and are continuously reviewed and updated.
