hello brother,
as due to lockdown even courts are not working, and all the accused are exempted from attending court hearing date, if u miss attendance at police station it won't affect and it will not violate u r bail conditions, but as precautionary just call the police station and tell them the situation..

You are already having phone number of the IO, speak to him / her and inform the situation with an assurance for reporting him / her at the earliest instance after relaxation/ lifting the lockdwon orders.

Meanwhile you may send someone from your family to the IO/ SHO with an application to explain the situation .

What is the case and why / when were you granted bail ?

What is the opinion and advise of the lawyer engaged by you ?
