On Wednesday, Maha Health Minister Rajesh Tope said that looking at the Covid case rise in Maharashtra, there might not be any relaxation in the curbs at least till the mid of next month.
Tope said “Experts say infection spread can be reduced by the imposition of restrictions by increasing the speed of vaccination. The priority is to reduce viral spread. Smaller cities have started to report an increase in cases.”
Moreover, he said that vaccination being slow in Maharashtra and the recently imposed restrictions were discussed in the state cabinet meeting on Wednesday.
He added, “Cabinet members were of the opinion that schools and colleges should continue to remain closed. We are watching the numbers daily and decisions will be taken appropriately.”
