Earlier on Sunday, while addressing the people of the state through video conferencing, Thackeray stated that a decision on imposing a fresh lockdown will be taken after reviewing the situation in Mumbai for the next eight days.

Senior civic officials stated, following Tuesday's meeting, the CM will take a call on the next modus operandi to curb the spread.

"It's now too early to say anything on lockdown, the ongoing week will be crucial to understand the pattern of the spike," said a senior civic official.
