Uddhav Thackeray said that there was a lockdown when the second wave of Corona arrived in Britain. The lockdown was later abolished there. The crisis is difficult, but people should continue to live, so instead of lockdown, it is necessary to strictly follow the Corona manual. Strictness should be done in the areas where corona infections are getting more.
