Amid the surging cases of coronavirus disease (Covid-19), Nashik will go under strict lockdown-like restrictions for 12 days beginning Wednesday, Maharashtra cabinet minister Chhagan Bhujbal said.
Bhujbal said the number of Covid-19 positive cases has risen significantly in the district compared to the previous year. "Around 33,000-34,000 cases were added recently," he said.
The decision was taken after at least 48 people died due to the Covid-19 infection in the city.
Nashik on Tuesday reported new 6,482 Covid-19 cases and 141 deaths.
