The decision came on a day when the state crossed 10,000 new cases for the first time since the Covid 19 pandemic began.

The JAP is essentially an extension of the curfew the Rajasthan government had announced for the weekend (6 pm, April 16 – 5 am, April 19).

However, the government has neither called it a lockdown, nor a curfew, mainly because of the interpretations associated with both, as they have been implemented in the past.
