People who have not received a single dosage of COVID-19 vaccination will be denied admission to historic sites and monuments in Maharashtra’s Aurangabad district, according to an official. Sunil Chavan, the district collector, issued the directives, which went into effect on Tuesday, according to the source. According to him, the district administration took the action after discovering poor immunization rates in the region.
People planning to visit historic sites and monuments must have at least one dosage of the vaccine, according to the directive.
