The state’s weekly positivity rate is now around 0.73% but as many as nine districts have a positivity rate higher than the state’s average.

These include Dhule (4.83%), Pune (1.52%), Akola (1.42), Sindhudurg (1.34%), Hingoli (1.31%), Mumbai (1.07%), Parbhani (1%), Gondia (0.79%) and Kolhapur (0.74%).
