In an official release, the state government said the decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and attended by district officials through video-conferencing.
People undergoing home quarantine for suspected exposure to the novel coronavirus will be stamped on the left hand, the Maharashtra government said.
In an official release, the state government said the decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and attended by district officials through video-conferencing.
As on Monday, there were 37 Covid-19 patients in the state.
As per protocol, people arriving from coronavirus- affected regions are being put under home quarantine as a precautionary measure while their samples are sent for tests.
The statement urged people to send their complaints or requests through e-mails rather than visiting government offices for redressal of grievances.
The district administration has been told to take a call on the requests in these e-mails within seven days, it said.
In another development, Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray announced that universities in the state have decided to postpone exams till March 31.
“After risk assessments, the Higher & Technical Ministry has decided to postpone all university exams, in its jurisdiction, to a date later than 31st March, 2020. All educational institutes must therefore observe a complete temporary closure till further notice. #Corona,” he tweeted.
In another tweet, Aaditya Thackeray, who is also state tourism minister, said, “Thank you Mirage Hotel, Mumbai and ITC hotel, Mumbai for opening up your doors to incoming travels that will be compulsorily isolated for 24 hours on arrival in Mumbai, as requested by BMC, since yesterday. #Corona.”

Suspected* not infected
PS: Won’t do any good, they need to start testing people vigorously like South Korea did!
What’s the point of tagging suspect people without testing (hardly takes a day or two for the report)
There’s nothing mentioned about testing for all suspected cases, but one would hope the suspected ones would all be tested & on high priority.
It is what being suggested by WHO (more seriously now)
If a nation is not able to test the suspected case, then they’re just incompetent!

Very dangerous – can lead to mob lynching – many illiterates may think suspect as infected
So true
Being a victim ourselves…we have become racists over time & this supect-tagging will be no more different than this

One person has been confirmed dead in Mumbai. The person had multiple health complications apart from being infected by COVID-19, reports TIMES NOW
Such short-sighted and naive decision.
People will be outcasted,shunned, discriminated against due to this.
Marking out sick people is morally reprehensible.
Might get lynched too.
If anyone tests positive they should be quarantined in proper space like hospitals.
Not marked like discarded goods.
There are several examples of how to effectively fight the virus like Taiwan and south Korea.
Politicians should take their clues from there rather than coming with these “genius” moves.
We need to expand our testing capabilities rapidly, start randomised tests where covid 19 patients have been detected to find out any clusters, doctors should coordinate and weed out symptoms and recommend testing if they deem fit.
Our testing rates are among the lowest.
Many people are fleeing from hospitals. If someone is suspected you better stay home. In india Some people are too confident that no disease can touch them. You don’t know our old people they are dangerous.
Why would they get lynched? You do know people doing the lynching will also get infected right & when was the last time you had lynchings due to a disease? People making things up like possible lynchings need to present facts not conjecture! Whatsapp se zyada to misinformation yaha hai 
Haath kaat doo…. Aak thoo….
Translation: those who split on road cut their hand
how stamping on left hand work? did they never hear of full sleeves clothing’s?
Full sleeves on hands?… 
… Kaise bhai… 
most of the people here are genius , and the only problem is they are sitting behind the computer and not working on the field to help people.
Yea that’s a great help..stay at home, keep yourself busy with computer mobiles etc.
Indian govt can’t stop thinking beyond money:
