Restrictions on Kovid-19 relaxed in 18 districts

The Maharashtra government on Friday eased restrictions on COVID-19 in 18 districts of the state where the infection rate and the number of patients requiring oxygen beds in hospitals have come down. The announcement was made by Disaster Management Minister Vijay Wadettiwar after a meeting of the State Disaster Management Authority on Thursday.

The minister said that restrictions like lockdown were imposed in April to deal with the second wave of the Kovid-19 epidemic.

The Disaster Management Minister said that Maharashtra will be unlocked at 5 levels i.e. under Level 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Many districts of Maharashtra come under Level 1, so the process of unlocking will be started there.

The 18 districts where restrictions will be relaxed include Aurangabad, Bhandara, Buldhana, Chandrapur, Dhule, Gadchiroli, Gondia, Jalgaon, Jalna, Latur, Nagpur, Nanded, Nashik, Yavatmal, Washim, Wardha, Parbhani and Thane.
