Chief Minister added that the lockdown restrictions have already slowed down various developmental works in the State. Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday warned over the increasing crowd on Mumbai’s road saying failing to control this would result in stricter restrictions in the city.
Speaking at the inauguration of multiple infrastructure works, Mr Thackeray said, “I was really concerned when I saw crowd on the streets of Mumbai today. We have not yet lifted lockdown restrictions in Mumbai and Maharashtra as corona scare is not over yet.”

World No Tobacco Day is observed every year on 31 May. The celebration of this day informs the public on the dangers of using tobacco, the business practices of tobacco companies and what the World Health Organization (WHO) is doing to fight the use of tobacco and also what people around the world can do to claim their right to health.
Although the hazards of tobacco were not new, it is being said that tobacco users can be more vulnerable to COVID- 19 infection.
Tobacco usage â India perspective:
The use of tobacco leads to nearly 8 million deaths every year globally, according to the World Health Organization, predominantly due to lung and heart diseases. Out of these, over seven million deaths are a result of direct tobacco use, and the rest due to exposure to second-hand smoke. About 80% of the deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries.
A new study from the Scripps Research Institute, in La Jolla, California, found higher levels of antibodies generated during the common cold in COVID survivors than in those never infected.
