However, we will immediately take whatever measures have been asked by the central government, 'said Rajesh Tope.

What measures will the state government take?
After a review meeting with Prime Minister Modi, Rajesh Tope informed about the measures to be taken to prevent the spread of corona in Maharashtra. 'We are going to increase the number of corona tests in the state. Also, to find positive patients and treat them properly, to check which variants of corona have been found in the infected patients, no other variant has been found in Maharashtra at present except Omicron. We are close to the center average in terms of vaccination. The central government has now allowed vaccinations for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12. Therefore, the state government is now tasked with vaccinating children in this age group. We want to increase the rate of vaccination of school going children, 'said Tope.
