The Mumbai Police has not imposed new restrictions in the city but extended a previous order issued on August 31, said Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday.

"Please share and don’t panic,” he said on Twitter after reports that the police would restrict movement from midnight to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Thackeray was clarifying an order ssued by Deputy Commissioner of Police (Operations) Shahaji Umap that said: "All movement of one or more persons in the areas designated as 'Containment Zones' by the Municipal Authorities is prohibited, except for essential activities, supply of essential goods and medical emergencies."
