Also, after this meeting of the Chief Minister, there is a possibility of re-mask compulsion in crowded places in Maharashtra, Tope has also predicted.

'Maharashtra is in a safe position at the moment in terms of corona outbreak, so there is no reason to panic. Because at present there are only 929 active patients in the state. Maharashtra has already seen 65 to 70 thousand patients in a single day. The good news is that the number of patients per million population is currently very low. 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.
