‘Shocked’ at heavy traffic in Mumbai, Uddhav warns of stricter curbs
Seemingly sad with the heavy vehicular movement in Mumbai amid the raging coronavirus fears, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday warned of imposing stricter curbs.
“I was shocked to see heavy vehicular traffic in Mumbai today. I was wondering if I said anything about restrictions being lifted last night, but I didn’t. If this continues, stricter curbs will have to be imposed,” Thackeray mentioned.
Earlier on Sunday, Uddhav prolonged the lockdown-like curbs until June 15 and in addition introduced relaxations will probably be granted relying upon the COVID-19 positivity fee and availability of oxygen beds.
In municipal firms or areas of districts with lower than 10 per cent COVID-19 positivity fee and the place the provision of occupied oxygen beds will probably be lower than 40 per cent, all of the institutions/outlets engaged in important commodities and providers which can be presently opened from 7 am to 11 am can now stay open from 7 am to 2 pm, the federal government mentioned in an order.
For districts and firms having greater than a 20 per cent positivity fee and the place over 75 per cent of oxygen beds are occupied, the borders of such districts will probably be closed and no particular person will probably be allowed to enter or exit in such districts.
The exceptions will probably be demise from a household, medical purpose and emergency providers or providers associated to such conditions.
