    It is to be noted that coronavirus cases in Maharashtra have increased in the last one week leading to talks that the state government may impose lockdown in some districts to stem the infection spread.
    Speaking to reporters, “There has been no decision yet on introduction of another round of lockdown in the state. “In fact, there will be no lockdown but some strict restrictions will be introduced for a period to keep a check on the increasing number of COVID-19 cases. We will hold a meeting with the chief minister and implement the decision accordingly.” 

    “There are reports of people crowding public and market places without face masks. We appeal to people to regularly use mask and strictly following other measures of sanitisation, said the health minister. The unlocking process was started after peoples demand to ease curbs, but now it seems citizens are not following preventive measures,” Tope added.

    Referring to reports of ‘vaccine tourism’, Tope said that he has no knowledge of this matter and added that if anyone is doing this then this is wrong and it should be stopped. Tope noted that there is still no authorised vaccine against coronavirus yet.

    The Maharashtra Health Minister that it is still not known when India will receive coronavirus vaccine but the state government is fully ready to distribute the vaccine once it arrives in India.
