The extension of the lockdown is imposed till June 1 and all the outsiders are mandated to show the negative RT-PCR reports before entering the state.
Last month the state government had imposed the lockdown as the ‘break the chain’ initiative which was supposed to end on May 15. However, now the lockdown has been extended till June 1. According to the reports, the per-day growth rate average in Maharashtra is also half the national average as it stands at 0.8 per cent, stated Health Minister Tope recently.
