NEW DELHI : The number of Covid-19 hotspot districts in India as on Wednesday morning has come down to 129 from 170 a fortnight ago, but in the same period the number of infection-free districts or green zones too decreased from 325 to 307, according to official sources.
During this time, the number of non-hotspot districts, also known as orange zones, increased from 207 to 297, they said. The Centre had on April 15 classified districts into three categories.
Those with high load of covid-19 cases or which have a high growth rate of the disease are marked as hotspots or red zones, while those with considerably fewer cases of the respiratory infection fall in orange zone or non-hotspots.
