Presently, there are active patients in 695 villages. Hence, the Village Vigilance Committee has the important role to play in gaining control over the Corona situation while the gramseveks, head masters, talathi, teachers and other employees have been ordered to remain present on the duty. When the officers visited and inspected the villages, it was found that gramsevaks were not present at five villages.

The patients figures in Gangapur, Paithan, Kannad, Vaijapur and Aurangabad tehsils are still in three digits.
