Maharashtra reports 43 cases

After reporting 43 cases of coronavirus, the Maharashtra government has decided to ink mark the quarantined people at their homes for suspected exposure. According to reports, as a precautionary measure, one of the steps to home-quarantine people who are immigrating to India from COVID 19 affected countries is to leave an ink print on them. This will help the government to identify them if they mingle in public. 

Bollywood's megastar Amitabh Bachchan shared on Twitter, a picture of his hand where he has been marked as 'Home Quarantined'. The actor shared that the ink used by the government officials were the same voting ink which won't fade away very soon.
