Mumbai, considered to be the financial hub of Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday reiterated his plea to the public to not step out of their homes unnecessarily.
"Work from home should be the policy.... we have the example of China before us... they were the first to suffer, they were the first to come out," Thackeray said in his address to the state.
Mumbai, a densely populated metropolis of 18 million, also authorised hospital and airport authorities to stamp the wrists of those who have been ordered to self-isolate with indelible ink reading "Home Quarantined" and displaying the date until which the person has been ordered to self-quarantine.
The Mumbai Police today posted a viral meme that is quite trending on social media. We all have heard about the famous poet Rahat Indori's 'Bulati hai magar jaane ka nahi'. The Mumbai Police used these lines to spread awareness regarding social distancing during the Covid-19 fear.
