After the increase in the COVID-19 cases, Udaipur Administration has declared the municipal area of Udaipur as Containment Zone.

Further, as per the guidelines issued by MHA, Containment Zones have not been given any relaxation under lockdown 4.0.

Therefore, all the restrictions will remain in place in the Udaipur Municipal Corporation boundary. The administration, after review, will decide the waiver.

It is noteworthy that due to the rapidly increasing cases of Corona, the administration declared the city as a Containment Zone on 8 May. The Udaipur Municipal Corporation area was included in this order, not the industrial area of Udaipur.
