New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be holding yet another video conference with the Chief Ministers of India to review India's progress in containing coronavirus disease while gradually restarting economic activities in a phased manner.

The meeting will be attended by home minister Amit Shah, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman, health minister Dr Harsh Vardhan along with senior officials from the centre including the home and health secretary.

The prime agenda behind the meeting would be to discuss the further exit plan and restarting economic activities in the nation while maintaining grip on the coronavirus.

Cabinet secretary Rajeev Gauba held a meeting with the chief secretaries and the health secretaries of all states on Sunday to review the status of Covid-19 management. He had also held two meetings on Saturday to identify areas for reopening after May 17- when the third phase of lockdown ends.

It has been learned that more concessions are likely to be announced but there would be no change in guidelines for the containment zones.

The government had classified all 773 districts in the country into three zones- Red, Orange and Green, to indicate the level of economic activity and restrictions in place in each of these districts.
