Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday announced lifting of all COVID-related restrictions from April 2, marking Gudhi Padwa, the Marathi new year. The use of mask would also be voluntary.
The decision to lift all restrictions was unanimously taken at the Cabinet meeting. “We thank each and every one for cooperating with the government in these difficult times. It is new year and we embark on a new beginning,” said Mr. Thackeray. “While we lift all the restrictions, we urge citizens to voluntarily follow measures such as use of mask and physical distancing,” he said.
