No reason to impose lockdown: Maharashtra Health Minister
The Hindu
While acknowledging that the rapidly rising COVID-19 cases across Maharashtra were a matter of grave concern, State Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Monday clarified that the situation did not warrant a lockdown in the State as yet.
In lieu of a lockdown, Mr. Tope said, the government would be increasing the number of restrictions to preclude mass congregations and these would be strictly enforced. The Minister also observed that despite the sudden spike in cases in the past fortnight, the mortality rate was declining.
