Earlier with lockdown 4.0 coming to an end, people thought lockdown 5.0 would begin. Instead, we got ‘Unlock 1.0’ – same same but DIFFERENT!
The government has issued many more relaxations from June 1. For example, only containment zones are under lockdown till June 30, the curfew has been pushed from 7PM-7AM to 9PM-5AM. Restaurants, hotels, and malls are to reopen from June 8.
Here’s a look at all the guidelines for the phased reopening of areas outside containment zones, according to News18.
According to The Indian Express, a massive meme-fest took over the internet ever since ‘Unlock 1.0’ announcement was made. From extroverts feeling immense joy to people trying to remember ‘how to people’ outdoors, these memes perfectly sum up how many of us are feeling right now! Have a look:

To top it off, Maharashtra CM recently announced that the final-year students in the state are exempted from appearing for exams and would be promoted on the basis of an aggregate marking system, reports News18.
So, we have decided that students will get aggregate marks based on their performance in the previous semesters for that academic year. This is because there is no clarity on when the exams can be held. The future of students should not be kept hanging because of this.
— CMO Maharashtra (@CMOMaharashtra) May 31, 2020
But, if a student wants to appear for the final exams to improve their previous performance, they can be given an opportunity in September, October or November, based on how the situation evolves.

And all Maharashtra final-year students are celebrating by posting memes online! However, students of other state universities are hoping against hope.
