Meanwhile, with 319 fresh cases reported in the state, the cumulative COVID-19 case count now stands at 10,38,907. With the Total Positivity Rate way below the 1% mark, the state continues to unlock at various levels. Considering the lowered risk in Indore, day to day life has gone back to normal.

Restrictions related to public gatherings and night curfew was lifted earlier in February. Simultaneously, schools, colleges and offices started operations at full capacity. Authorities, however, keep reminding the public of the unending risk and urge them to practice precaution and exhibit COVID appropriate behaviour in public spaces.
