“The state government will form a committee/task force in coordination with the Centre to monitor the Covid situation in the state,” Fadnavis stated in the State Assembly. According to the Maharashtra health department, 30 new Covid-19 cases were reported in the state on Wednesday. So far, however, no fatalities have been reported.

To prevent the spread of Covid-19, health experts have already issued a number of guidelines to the general public. People have been advised to avoid crowded places and to check their blood sugar levels on a regular basis. “Those who have not received vaccines until now have been advised to get vaccinated,” said Dr P Sale of Mumbai.

Dr. Pallavi Saple, Dean of JJ Hospital, commented on the rise in Covid-19 cases in other countries, including China, saying, “Rise of Covid cases in other countries including China may be due to poor vaccination, lack of good quality vaccine, or being very restrictive.” “Things are under control in India right now. But we must exercise caution,” she added.
