Ngp, Chanda, Ytl, Gondia fully eligible for unlock at Level 1; Bhandara, Wardha, Washim, Gadchiroli miss out narrowly; Amt, Akola in Level 3; Buldhana in Level 4
Shops, restaurants and many other outlets can start functioning like normal from June 7. A final notification is awaited from the Nagpur Municipal Corporation
Nagpur: Nagpur, Chandrapur, Gondia and Yavatmal – four districts in Vidarbha, including Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) as a separate unit, are fully eligible for complete unlock in Level 1 from Monday.
These four districts fit in both the parameters of less than 5% test positivity and less than 25% oxygen bed occupancy set by the state government’s disaster management department for the unlock in first level.

All shops, markets, malls, activities and events will be allowed and all offices will function with 100% capacity in the districts/units coming under Level 1.
As the state government has released the unlock plan with detailed parameters, it’s now up to the respective district collectors and municipal commissioners to take the updated figures of test positivity and oxygen bed occupancy in their districts/units and issue the unlock-related guidelines.
The bed occupancy report in the week that ended on June 3 shows that Bhandara, Wardha, Buldhana, Washim, Gadchiroli have less than 25% O2 beds occupied which means they fit in one parameter. But, the test positivity in these districts is slightly higher than 5% and 10% in Buldhana. Due to this, they may not get ‘unlocked’ from Monday.
Along with Buldhana, Amravati and Akola are out of the ambit for a full unlockdown from Monday as of now.

Amravati, with 6.56% positivity and 28.5% oxygen beds occupied and Akola, with 7.74% positivity and 43% of oxygen beds are in Level 3.
State government has given some relaxations for these district too but they will be limited.
