After PM Modi’s speech, authorities have started sealing COVID-19 hotspots in Srinagar city by cementing iron roads to stop the movement of people. Authorities have started sealing all those areas where multiple cases of CoronaVirus were reported since morning. People falling under these areas will get essential commodities through administration and certain routes have been kept open where the deployment of security forces have been made. “Initially, when cases came out, it was notified as a hotspot. This is to stop the further spread of viruses. We have kept alternate route and access of them,” said Mubashir, an Executive Magistrate.

Britain’s intelligence community has reportedly warned China about the adverse consequences of lifting the country's lockdown.

The warning comes after China's northeast Heilongjiang province which borders Russia, has become the new hotspot&nbsp;of the virus.

Health authorities on Sunday reported the highest number of new daily cases in nearly six weeks, driven by infected travellers from overseas.

UK's spy agency&nbsp;MI6&nbsp;alerted China that a rise in imported cases could spark a second wave of COVID-19 and push the country back into a state of near paralysis.

A total of 108 new COVID-19 cases were reported in mainland China on Sunday, up from 99 a day earlier and marking the highest number of cases since 143 infections were reported on March 5.

Previously, MI6&nbsp;had&nbsp;informed British&nbsp;ministers that China was significantly under-reporting the number of coronavirus cases and deaths in January and February, echoing similar briefings given by the CIA to the White House.

Meanwhile, Britain's domestic intelligence agency MI5 also said&nbsp;that it believes Birtain&nbsp;needs to reassess its relationship with&nbsp;China&nbsp;after the coronavirus crisis subsides and consider if tighter controls are needed over high-tech and other strategic industries.
