Amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, Maharashtra Government has allowed liquor shops to be opened in the state except in the COVID-19 containment zones from Monday morning. Long queues were seen outside liquor outlets across the state in COVID-19 non-containment zones.
And one particular shop in Mumbai's area of Santacruz used thermal screening to test the tipplers of COVID-19.
The liquor shops staff must be lauded for his efforts to make sure the local buyers are fine to enjoy some wine!
