All markets, market areas and shops, except malls, will be allowed to open in Maharashtra from June 5 on the odd-even basis in non-containment zones as the state government on Sunday announced phase-wise reopening under the "Mission Begin Again".

However, religious places, shopping malls, hotels and restaurants will continue to remain closed.

While the state government has extended the lockdown till June 30, it preferred the new nomenclature as "Mission Begin Again", a day after the Centre announced significant relaxations under 'Unlock 1'.

Maharashtra is worst affected by the coronavirus pandemic, reporting 65,168 cases and 2,197 deaths so far.
