Amid prevalent chaos and uncertainty over access to the essential services and commodities during the lockdown, we bring you the latest updates from your city.

Private hospitals in Kolkata will now be allowed to test their outpatients for Covid-19, a move that will help free up beds at isolation units, a major portion of which is now being occupied by suspects.
