Stricter restrictions might be enforced in the state; informs health minister Rajesh Tope
The spike in Covid19 cases in the state has definitely kept everyone alert. Even if the Covid19 cases are on rise the mortality rate is low.
It is hereby advised to the citizens avoid visiting public places. Stricter restrictions shall be imposed in near future as mere lockdown is not supporting in reducing Covid19 cases.
Out of the total number of Covid19 cases over 85 percent cases have not shown any visible symptoms. Such patients are further referred for home isolation. There is no dearth of beds for patients at this moment.
To control the increasing number of cases, tracking, testing and treatment are the three T’s on which the government is working strictly. Number of testing has been increased in the state.
Restrictions on number of people shall be even more stricter at weddings, social gatherings and other programs. Citizens should also take enough measures and avoid going to such places. Citizens should follow the norms and should not force the government to implement lockdown to bring the cases under control.
Wearing mask, social distancing and washing hands regularly are three things each one of us should follow strictly. The state government has also increased the vaccination facilities and more than 1.25 lakh citizens are given vaccination everyday. At present the state of Maharashtra doesn’t have any shortage of vaccine, infact availability of vaccine at government as well as private hospitals shall be increased. Vaccination for citizens above 60 years age shall be completed soon.
