The residential area of Maharashtra's first Coronavirus casualty saw few people venturing out. While local autorickshaw drivers were seen with handkerchiefs or masks covering their faces, the security guards of the deceased's building too were tested for the virus.

The 64-year-old deceased resided in Ghatkopar and died on Tuesday morning at Kasturba Hospital. "I have been going about my work with a handkerchief tied over my face since the news of COVID-19 spread last week," said an autorickshaw driver at a stand right outside the deceased's building.
