Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray addressed the state on Sunday and said that the rise in number of coronavirus cases in the state has forced his government to continue with the lockdown and decision to extend it further beyond May 31 will have to be evaluated carefully depending on the situation. 

"It was wrong to impose the lockdown suddenly. It will be equally wrong to lift it in one go. It will be a double whammy for our own people," he said while addressing the state via video message.
