"I do not wish to impose lockdown. But there seems a possibility of healthcare facilities falling short given the rise in the number of coronavirus patients," news agency PTI quoted Thackeray as saying.

The decision comes a day after Maharashtra recorded 35,952 coronavirus infections on Thursday, the highest one-day rise since the pandemic began. Surprisingly, Maharashtra added over one lakh cases in four days.
