I am upset at what has happened early this morning. It saddens me to see what happened. I want to once again tell the migrants that the state govt is with them
5- 6 lakh migrants have been accommodated in camps. The state government is with you: CM Uddhav Thackeray

#COVID19

We have started train services. We are coordinating with the state governments from their home states. Don't be worried. We solicit your support. This fight with #COVID19 ahead is difficult, we need your support: CM Uddhav Thackeray

CM Uddhav Thackeray on rumours: Why does Mumbai need the army? It's #FakeNews. Please do not believe in unverified information and be patient. We are in this together. We are fighting against #COVID19, step-by-step

Rains will hit the city soon and we are preparing for it. We had appealed to the central govt that if needed, we would need help from hospitals under central govt like port trust hospital etc. The centre has given its go-ahead for that: CM Uddhav Thackeray

I want to ask the Centre if there is any way we can get central backing so our police force can take breaks and then get back on the job. If such a time comes up, we would like to ask the centre for help: CM Uddhav Thackeray

We are not making eny exemptions, concessions in containment zones within red zones. For the lockdown to be successful, we need to follow the rules. We have managed the lockdown well but we haven't managed to break the chain as yet: CM Uddhav Thackeray

#MaharashtraFightsCorona

I want to tell everyone that we are not reducing tests. Wherever necessary, we will be doing tests. There will be no compromise on that. But we have noticed that in some cases, people are coming at the very last minute; unfortunately, then it is not possible to save them: Maha CM

A lot of #COVID19 women who delivered, their babies were tested negative. This is a miracle of sorts: Maha CM Uddhav Thackeray

This phase of the lockdown is very important. Do we increase the lockdown from here? It depends on you. No one likes to be caged indoors: Maha CM Uddhav Thackeray

But breaking the lockdown will end up being a punishment for us in the long run.
Like I said in the meeting yesterday, instead of social distancing, I would say follow physical distancing: CM Uddhav Thackeray
