Centre Asks Maharashtra & Kerala To Implement Night Curfew
The Centre has asked Maharashtra and Kerala to implement a night curfew in areas with high COVID-19 cases after the country-wide numbers rose to 32.6 million with 40,000 new cases daily. The celebration of Onam in Kerala has led to the state accounting for 60% of India's total cases. "More efforts would be required to arrest the increase in infections," the Home Affairs Ministry stated on August 26.
