Claim dated 23 Feb 2021.

What FACTLY found
The message in the photo is just a joke. The days 30 and 31 never occur in February. 2021 is not a leap year to have the 29th day in February. The Government of India did not release any statement about the new complete lockdown restrictions to be imposed in the country.
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
In short
This claim spread on social media around 23 February 2021. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 26 February 2021, 3 days later. Its rating was “FALSE”.
