The lockdown-like-restrictions in Maharashtra on account of the coronavirus pandemic have been extended by 15 days but a fresh set of guidelines will be issued on June 1, health minister Rajesh Tope said on Friday.
No relaxation will be given in the areas where the number of patients and positivity rate are still high and hospital bed availability is an issue, he said.
“But in the areas where the situation has improved, certain guidelines (easing the curbs) can be issued,” he added.
Asked if shops selling non-essential commodities will be allowed to open, he said all such decisions will be taken on June 1.
