The Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi government in Maharashtra has decided to increase the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-necessitated lockdown within the state to May 31, because the third phase of the nationwide lockdown with “considerable relaxations” is ending today.

The choice was taken keeping in mind that the quantity of positive cases of COVID-19 within the state is steadily rising and also the virus is spreading like wildfire amid the pandemic outbreak. Reports said that although the lockdown has extended for the complete state, a notification will soon be issued carrying information regarding necessary relaxations of the curbs.

Notably, Maharashtra continues to be the epicenter of the coronavirus spread in India where the quantity of cases has witnessed a good large spike recently. in step with the Health Ministry, Maharashtra has the best number of cases with 30,706 positive cases of infection and 1,135 deaths.

According to the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, as many as 4,987 new COVID-19 cases and 120 deaths were reported within the country within the last 24 hours, marking a big spike.
