The Cabinet will meet on May 2 to decide on whether to lift the COVID-19 lockdown from May 4. It will also look at ways to lift restrictions imposed since March 24.

“But, even otherwise, officials have indicated a staggered exit and not to open all gates on day 1 (May 4),” he said. He said the recommendations of the 21-member expert committee would shape the decision.
