What the notification does
The Revenue and Disaster Management Department notification formally demarcates localities treated as COVID-19 containment zones as on 25th September 2020. It was published in the Tamil Nadu Government Gazette Extraordinary under G.O. Ms. No. 534, Revenue and Disaster Management (D.M.IV), dated 29th September 2020.
The stated purpose is to control coronavirus under the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The notification is a dated public health record. It does not contain provisions changing land ownership, property boundaries, planning status or title.
Who may be affected
The notification is relevant to people, businesses and properties located in the named containment zones on the stated date. Property buyers and owners can use the detailed table to check whether a locality was included, but the notification does not state any continuing property restriction.
Each detailed entry provides:
- District.
- Health unit district, shown as HUD.
- Name or description of the containment zone.
- Pincode.
Descriptions range from villages and neighbourhoods to particular streets, wards, apartment complexes, police quarters and housing blocks.

How to use the list
A reader should match the district, locality description and pincode rather than relying only on a broad town or village name. Some entries identify a specific street, ward, apartment complex or block, so the inclusion of one part of a locality does not by itself show that every property in the wider area was listed.
