The Minister said that he was indulging in discussions with the civic administration to ‘prepare for third wave capacity building in Maharashtra’
As Maharashtra shows signs of plateauing of COVID-19 cases, the civic administration in Mumbai has been directed to start preparations anticipating the third wave of coronavirus, with a special focus on paediatric wards. Mumbai (city) Guardian Minister Aaditya Thackeray said that he was indulging in discussions with the civic administration to “prepare for third wave capacity building in Maharashtra”. “I have suggested to him that we create a paediatric COVID-19 care ward anticipating the next wave and the demographic it may target. Along with paediatric covid care centre, another aspect we are now focussed on is to create a network of crèches for those parents who may have to be in covid care centres and may not have support to look after their children, that aren’t infected by covid,” Mr. Aaditya Thackeray wrote on Twitter after meeting with Additional Municipal Commissioner Subodh Jaiswal of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).More Related News
