As the cases in Maharashtra soared up, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday announced that people need to be more cautious and wear masks. “Face mask is our only weapon against the coronavirus. I would like to reiterate that wearing a mask is mandatory,” he said, adding that “we are witnessing resurgence of coronavirus in the state”.
The reason behind the recent spike is the lowering of guard, Thackeray said. “We have become complacent. This had happened in the West too. Those countries had to reimpose lockdowns,” he said.

The chief minister warned the state that another set of stringent restrictions could be imposed if COVID-19-appropriate behaviour is not maintained by the residents.
“Do we need another lockdown? I want you (people) to take a call on this. People who want a lockdown will not wear a mask. People who don’t want a lockdown will follow safety rules and wear a mask. We’ll take a call on this in 8-10 days depending on the situation,” he added.
