The lockdown has been extended till the 8th of March. Barring the essential commodity selling shops all the shops, educational institutions, coaching classes, and other gatherings will be not allowed in these regions.

A week lockdown was imposed in Amravati and Achapur regions on the 21st of this month after the new strains of the virus have been detected. With a rise in new infections, the lockdown was extended for one more week.
