“The funeral should not involve more than 5 people,” he added.
He further said, “If someone insists to bury the body, they will only be permitted if the body is taken out of Mumbai city’s jurisdiction.”
As of now, 193 positive cases of COVID-19 have been reported in Maharashtra. 25 people have been cured and 8 died due to the virus.
