Fact Check- 

We started our investigation by using the keywords from the above message on Google, through which we found that the phase-wise easing of restrictions are actually from Ireland. Ireland has designed a five-phase roadmap to get the country back on track. The text in the message also matches with the text used on Ireland’s official website. Authorities in Ireland have also categorically stated that these phases will only be applied if the medical advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team permits the government to carry forward the roadmap. This clearly establishes that the viral message that being shared as the Indian Governments roadmap for a gradual reopening of the lockdown is infact from Ireland.

We also  found a clarification tweet by the official account of Regional Outreach Bureau Chandigarh, Ministry of Information & Broadcasting , Government of India stating that the viral message on social media is Fake and  is not related to India. They have stated that there has been no such announcement or decision declared by the Indian Government.
