The southern Indian city of Bangalore, with a population of more than 8 million people, will go back under lockdown for a week amid rising cases.
India started to ease out of its stringent lockdown in June, but cases across varying regions have continued to spike at different points, prompting some cities and states to reimpose lockdowns or curbs.
A handful of southern states have been in the local news recently as infections have started to steadily climb in the region. Bangalore is the capital of Karnataka state, which has confirmed nearly 40,000 cases.
Starting Tuesday, public transport will be halted, only essential shops will be allowed to remain open and all religious places will be shut, among other restrictions.
With more than 870,000 confirmed cases, India has the third-highest number of infections after the US and Brazil.
