NDTV
In the last 24 hours, Madhya Pradesh has logged 917 fresh cases of coronavirus, taking its total to 2,71,957. One person has died, taking the number of fatalities to 3,894.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced a series of restrictions in the state today to curb the spread of coronavirus, which is spiking again in parts of the country in what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called a "second peak". In view of the explosive Covid outbreak once again in neighbouring Maharashtra, the Chief Minister also ordered that bus service to and from Maharashtra be stopped from March 20. The government has already advised officials in border districts to place the passengers arriving from Maharashtra in a week-long quarantine. Maharashtra logged 25,833 fresh cases of Covid over the last 24 hours -- the highest since the outbreak of the pandemic last year. Fifty-eight people have died. Under the new rules, markets in parts of Madhya Pradesh will remain closed from 10 pm to 6 am.
