Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar on Friday spoke about the covid situation in the state. "We conducted a survey and found that around 0.19% of people who have taken first dose are found infected with COVID-19 & around 0.25% people were found infected after taking both doses of vaccine."
On consulting experts, we were informed that those who've taken both the doses aren't following COVID protocol & exposing themselves to the virus. Experts say even when we are easing restrictions, citizens must take precautions & follow protocol, added Pawar.
