The boundaries of all the districts in the state including Mumbai have been closed. Travelers are asked to restrict their movements. If the COVID-19 patient is found, the proximal part is being sealed. In many instances, the police and the locals have witnessed harassment. However, many of the essential service personnel are currently working 12-16 hours with the staff of the police administration. At this time, special precautionary measures have been taken to prevent other employees from contracting the virus. This van has the ability to sanitise a person in seconds. This will help keep on-duty employees safe from contracting the virus.
Deshmukh said, "India's first mobile sanitation unit has been commissioned in Pune to protect the police and health workers vulnerable to such infections and outbreaks."
