The constant spike in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra has now enforced the government to take strict action. With more than 5,000 cases reported in a single day for the first time in nearly 75 days, the two district Amravati and Yavatmal which have the highest contribution among these, have now been placed under a lockdown with some restrictions.
The lockdown in Amravati is a weekend lockdown while Yavatmal has been placed under a 10 day lockdown. Schools for Classes 5-9 in Yavatmal will remain shut till February 28, whereas hotels and restaurant will be allowed to remain open from 8 am to 9:30 pm and markets till 8pm.
Whereas in Amravati the weekend lockdown will start from Saturday and end on 7 am on Monday. During this period, all markets and establishments will remain closed but essential services will remain unaffected.
