Maharashtra is witnessing the highest number of infected people with the virus and also the most number of Covid deaths. The dreadful scenario has made the citizen fear.  The state already has weekend lockdown, night curfew, and other prohibitory curbs in place until April 30. With 60,212 fresh Covid cases recorded this is a matter of concern.

 CM Uddhav Thackeray has come up with the new covid norms that the state must follow.  However, the chain break is a must and therefore the Maharashtra government has come up with the decision of complete lockdown. Lockdown will be imposed in Mumbai and the rest of Maharashtra.  CM Uddhav Thackeray said from tomorrow evening, no one will be allowed to go out from home without any valid reasons.

For the next 15 days gathering of more than five persons will be restricted. No stepping out of the home unless essential work.

Aware of the challenges faced by the poor already, the State government will be providing 3 Kg of wheat and 2Kg of rice for 1 month to 7 crore workers.

We are imposing strict restrictions which will come into effect from 8 pm tomorrow. Section 144 to be imposed in the entire state from tomorrow. I will not term this as lockdown: Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray #maharashtralockdown #coronaviruspandemic #latestnews pic.twitter.com/kDmideHoZg
