Despite the growing concerns, people are still conducting parties, gatherings and ceremonies due to which the infection is on the rise once again.

Coronavirus cases are on a rise despite 3 lakh citizens being vaccinated in Maharashtra in a single day, but if the patient is infected even after vaccination, how does one break this chain? Discussions are being held to find solutions to such issues, said Uddhav Thackeray.
People have not stopped crowing public places or conducting events and ceremonies. Observing this, he warned that if the situation continues, our healthcare facilities will become inadequate. In that case, if one will have no other option but the lockdown, hoping to break the chain of infection.
The ministry is talking to experts from every field in the next couple of days hoping to find a different solution. However, if the citizens' response and behavior does not change over the next two days, then a few strict restrictions will have to be imposed to control the crisis. Announcement will be made regarding the same on Saturday, April 3, 2021 or Sunday, April 4, 2021.
