CM #UddhavThackeray: But this enemy is invisible. And another factor is that this enemy is using our own people to spread its infection. Determination, strength, patience all of these will stand us in good stead.

CM #UddhavThackeray: We have done 66,896 tests so far, of these 95% are negative. 3600 are positive, 300-350 of these have recovered, gone home. 75% are either mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic 52 patients are a bit serious. our focus is to save them. #COVID

CM #UddhavThackeray: Doctors have told us that many are coming to us when they are already quite serious. There have been cases where they have passed away even before their results have been received. Please don't hide your symptoms. If you have fever, cold, cough, let us know.

CM #UddhavThackeray: Don't be afraid, don't run away from it, come to these clinics we have set up. Getting the #coronavirus is not the end of the world. People have recovered. Those who have come in time, have recovered - including someone as young as 6 months.

CM #UddhavThackeray: We are doing everything possible for increasing doctors' strength. I don't want to lie, there is a shortage of #PPEs. But, we are trying our best to get those. There is a definite improvement. We are also providing ration. #COVID

#UddhavThackeray: Many are under the impression that when the Centre is giving free foodgrains, why can't the state. But the Centre is giving only rice under a central govt scheme. We are keen to add pulses (dal)&wheat to it. Once this is sorted, we'll be able to distribute that.

#UddhavThackeray: It's good that the lockdown has been extended till May 3 by the PM. We shouldn't be under false assurance just because we have seen the numbers fall in the last few days. We cant take it easy if numbers fall. We need to stay alert. #COVID

CM #UddhavThackeray: Economic activities have been hit.
So it is imperative that we start a few economic activities
and that will start on some fronts form tomorrow - April 20. Thankfully, there are some districts where there is no #COVID19 cases. #coronaupdatesindia

CM #UddhavThackeray: Red zone, orange zone & green zones - that's how we have divided these regions. In green zones, where there is no case, industries can begin to operate.

CM #UddhavThackeray: We have asked those industrialists to ensure that their labour can stay there as well. We will provide foodgrains for that. We need to be patient. These exemptions will be increased as things improve. #Covid_19india #COVID

#UddhavThackeray: Farming activities weren't stopped earlier either. Centre has given a list of activities too. District borders will continue to be sealed. Only essential supplies will be allowed. Labour movement across district borders will not be allowed. #Covid_19india #COVID

CM #UddhavThackeray: Although these exemptions are being made, I appeal to citizens, please stay indoors. . I saw that Vishwas Nangre Patil was stopped at the doorstep by his family and was allowed to enter after he cleaned his phone. #Covid_19india #COVID

CM #UddhavThackeray: I want to congratulate and bless these young children who are contributing to the #CMReliefFund from their own pocket money, birthday money. #Covid_19india #COVID #CoronaInMaharashtra

CM #UddhavThackeray: I don't want to get into the politics of #CSR fund and its applicability for PM fund but not for the CM funds. But we have now created a separate account for those who want to contribute via CSR funds. #COVID

CM #UddhavThackeray: We have heard of cases of violence against women inside their homes. I hope we don't get a single case from #Maharashtra but I want to appeal to women, dial 100 if you think you are in trouble. I am with you and will come to your aid. #COVID
