“We have received a new advisory from the centre suggesting not to use air conditioners if possible. Avoid unnecessary cooling and moisture,” Chief Minister said. 

During his address, the Chief Minister advised the citizens to let the fresh air come in their homes by letting the windows open which will avoid the use of air-conditioning units. 

CM Uddhav Thackeray further reiterated that the essential items and services will continue to operate including health services, grocery shops, medical stores and banks. The Chief Minister also asked people to not panic and hoard essential items.
