The stringent orders were necessitated with fears that the virus may infect many people after reports said some persons contracted the infection at Hola Mohalla celebrations in Anandpur Sahib earlier this month, despite directions against holding such gatherings.

A top government functionary said curfew was the only means to keep people indoors.



Any exemptions to be given for essential services will be announced later.
