A total of 21 cases of people testing positive for Covid-19 have been reported in Kalyan and Dombivli.

On Wednesday, the KDMC announced no entry of all private vehicles including two-wheelers, four-wheelers and taxis plying in Dombivli because of the rising cases.

“Many will stay indoors as we have stopped vehicles from plying in the city. This will help control the spread of coronavirus. Those found violating the directions will face legal action,” said Madhavi Pophale, public relations officer, KDMC.

“Vehicles providing essential services such as water supply, fire brigade, ATM cash vans, ambulance and others will be allowed to ply,” added Pophale.
