Maharashtra Minister of Public Health and Family Welfare, Rajesh Tope, said on Monday that people who have undergone 100 per cent home quarantine, should be marked with instruction on their left hand with indelible ink.

"Those who have undergone 100 per cent home quarantine, should be marked with instruction on their left hand with indelible ink, so that that this person can be identified in the community," Tope said.

Tope announced that all higher education exams have been postponed until further notice due to coronavirus scare. However, this does not include Class 10 and 12 exams. The examinations of private universities and colleges have also been postponed.
