Authorities are no longer using the red zone designation for areas and buildings with COVID-19 cases; strict measures such as stay home orders, ban on nonessential movement and activity, as well as entry and exit controls typically affected red zones for at least 72 hours, followed by phased relaxations after mass testing. Enhanced controls may recur in high-risk locations of Thimphu, Wangduephodrang, parts of Trashiyangtse and Trashigang districts, as well as southern districts bordering India.
