The state of Maharashtra, home to the financial hub Mumbai and Bollywood film production, will continue with lock down measures until July 31 as the number of cases steadily rise. 

The state government has issued fresh guidelines for what it has named "Mission Begin Again." This includes movement for non-essential activities to be restricted within neighborhoods in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, reports the CNN.

"It is further directed that the movement of persons for the purposes of non-essential activities like shopping and the outdoor exercises, shall be restricted within the neighborhood area limits with all necessary prescribed mandatory precautions of wearing masks, social distancing and personal hygiene," a statement issued by the government read.
