Earlier the state government has decided to extend the lockdown in the district from May 10 to May 17.
In addition, curfew has also been extended in the entire district.
The government had enforced containment measures in East Khasi Hills on May 1. But as the step failed to arrest infection, the lockdown was clamped on May 5.
