Health Minister Rajesh Tope said that Maharashtra is witnessing a high number of Covid positive cases, for which the government is considering augmented restrictions instead of a complete lockdown. This decision was taken at a Covid review meeting chaired by Deputy CM Ajit Pawar.
Tope said “In light of the growing number of Covid cases, the Covid Task Force suggested augmented restrictions instead of a complete lockdown. This would mean more restrictions on non-essential activities that could attract crowds. A complete lockdown is not needed at this stage. But crowds need to be curbed.”
With this, he also added that the new guidelines will be notified after the approval of CM Uddhav Thackeray.
