In an emergency review meeting with officials Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said that if the people continue to violate the norms then they should prepare for lockdown.

In the meeting attended by Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope, Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte, and members of the COVID Task Force, the Chief Minister gave clear orders that visitors in government and semi-government offices should be completely banned from entering, and if private offices and establishments do not comply with the 50 per cent staffing restrictions, the administration should prepare for a lockdown.

Uddhav said, “Staffing restrictions are still not being followed in private offices, rules for wedding ceremonies are being broken, social distancing isn’t followed in markets, and people aren’t wearing masks.” The government is trying its best to keep the economy afloat even in this situation, but “ultimately, protecting people’s health is our priority”, the CM said. Thackeray also directed the officials to increase the number of beds, ventilators and oxygen supply.
