Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Ajit Pawar on Saturday said that if the numbers of Covid-19 patients keep increasing in the state then then government may have to impose more restrictions.

"To take a decision about lockdown we have to see at what rate infections are increasing on the daily basis. If the number of patients starts increasing rapidly then unwillingly time would come for the government to take further strict decisions on restrictions to curb the spread but I wish that such a situation doesn't arrive," he said.
