COVID-19: Check out the list of Maharashtra's red, orange, green zones

The Maharashtra government on Friday announced that lockdown in the (Covid-19) red zones like Mumbai, Pune region, Nagpur and Aurangabad, where the number of COVID-19 cases are increasing will not be lifted even after May 3.

Maharashtra is one of the worst hit state by coronavirus with maximum number of cases. 

Red, orange and green zones have been created based on the intensity of cases. Red zones are like an active volcano, the orange zone is a dormant volcano and the green zone is a spent volcano, which may not burst again, said state CM. 

The red zone includes Mumbai and neighboring areas like Kalyan, Dombivali, Panvel, Pune and surrounding areas, some parts of Nagpur and Sambhajinagar, where numbers are gradually rising daily. At present, it is not in our interests to restart normal activities there, said CM in his address to the state.
