The number of corona patients in Maharashtra has been declining over the past few days. In the month of April, more than 70,000 patients were being registered in the state every day. Now the number of covid cases have come down to 30,000. As a result, the stress on the health system in the state has eased slightly. State Health Minister Rajesh Tope has also given important information about the lockdown while talking to media on Sunday. The number of corona patients in Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nagpur and Nashik has come down significantly in the last few days. Corona patient growth rate has slowed.

This has provided great relief to these cities. But in rural areas, covid is spreading rapidly. This has increased the stress on the health system. Speaking on this background, the Health Minister said that restrictions in the state will be gradually relaxed from June 1. Restrictions in districts where the number of corona patients is under control will be gradually lifted, said Rajesh Tope.

The general public will not be allowed to travel in Mumbai and MMR areas, Minister Vijay Wadettiwar said on Monday. Wadettiwar explained that suspending local train services helped to avoid congestion and did not infect the corona. However, the MNS has demanded that those who have taken both doses of corona vaccine should be allowed to travel by local and metro.

MNS leader Sandeep Deshpande said people who have taken both doses of the vaccine should be allowed to travel by local and metro. Lockdowns are also affecting businesses as well as people.  In the United States, people who take both doses are given different permissions. Therefore, Sandeep Deshpande has demanded that the US pattern be implemented to start trade and employment.

Meanwhile, trade unions, various social organizations, as well as ordinary citizens are demanding lifting of restrictions. Pressure is mounting on the government to open up markets. The state's economic cycle should continue and at the same time covid cases should not increase.
