Maharashtra Covid-19 lockdown news live: Night curfew, monitoring go for a toss in Nagpur
The rapid spread of Covid-19 finally forced the Uddhav Thackeray government to announce lockdown-like restrictions across the state from 8pm on Monday. On weekends, a complete lockdown will be imposed. A state government notification issued late Sunday said all shops except essential services would remain shut till the end of the month, leaving people only Monday to buy non-essential goods this month. Maharashtra’s Covid-19 tally crossed 30 lakh on Sunday with the addition of 57,074 new cases, the highest single-day rise seen so far in the pandemic. Divisional commissioner Saurabh Rao on Sunday said that Pune will continue with the prevailing restrictions till April 9 when the next Covid-19 review meeting under deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar will take place.
