Don’t think we will need strict lockdown: Maha CM

Maharashtra would have seen nine to ten lakh active coronavirus cases if the state government had not imposed new lockdown-like restrictions, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said on Friday.

A complete lockdown may be necessary but “I don’t think we will reach that stage,” he said.
