Mumbai : The Maharashtra government on Monday extended the coronavirus-triggered lockdown till July 31 without providing any further relaxations amid mounting cases of COVID-19 in the state.

The current phase of the lockdown, which was first imposed in late March, ends on June 30 and it has been now extended for one more month.

Announcing the extension, an order issued by Chief Secretary Ajoy Mehta said wearing face covers or masks, maintaining social distancing, restricted gatherings, and other measures shall continue to prevail.

No new loosening of curbs have been announced and relaxations granted earlier under "Mission Begin Again" will continue for citizens.

The order clearly prohibited inter-district movement of people as well as long-distance travelling without any emergency. The state government suggested that work from home should be followed as far as possible.
