Maharashtra coronavirus cases explode to new daily high, Ration shops also shut in Nagpur
Mumbai : Fresh cases of coronavirus in Maharashtra are setting new records everyday. In the last 24 hours, more than 23 thousand new cases of corona have been reported. On the other hand, the team, which came to test the situation from the Center, said in its report that necessary steps are not being taken to prevent the Corona cases in the state. If the pace of increase in Corona cases in Maharashtra remains the same, then it will not take time for the situation to go uncontrollable. Seeing the growing danger, the Maharashtra government has increased the restrictions in many districts.
Most cases of corona are being reported from two cities of Maharashtra, Nagpur and Pune. There have been 3370 new cases in Nagpur in the last 24 hours and 16 people have died. About two and a half thousand cases were reported on Tuesday. Active cases have crossed 21 thousand, but people are not taking precautions. Even now people are not following the Corona Guidelines.
Due to the same attitude of people in Nagpur, the lockdown is failing. The lockdown was imposed from 15 March to 21 March. Now the administration has decided that after 1 pm all the shops including vegetables, ration, daily needs, meat will remain closed. Only medicine shops have been allowed to open.
Corona situation in Maharashtra…

Seeing the condition of Maharashtra, the Center has given a stern warning to the state government that in the coming months, be prepared for the worst situation. Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has written a letter to the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra that the Rapid Antigen Test is being highly trusted in the state, which is not right.
Focus on containment strategy. Very little effort is being made for contact tracing, testing, isolating and quarantining the contact. People in rural and urban areas are not following the Corona Guidelines.
Vaccination is one way to get relief from corona. Eight of the ten most corona-affected districts across the country are from Maharashtra. The team at the Center has already described the start of the second wave of Corona in Maharashtra. In such a situation, the Maharashtra government has demanded two million vaccine doses every week from the Center, but Union Minister Prakash Javadekar has made a big charge on the Maharashtra government. Prakash Javadekar says that 56 percent of vaccines have not been used in the state so far.
Union Minister Prakash Javadekar tweeted on Wednesday that Maharashtra has used only 23 lakh vaccines so far, while a total of 54 lakh vaccines have been provided by the Center. That is, 56 percent of the vaccine is not used. Now Shiv Sena MPs are asking for more vaccines. The mismanagement of the first pandemic is now happening during vaccination as well. 61 percent of Corona cases coming across the country are coming from Maharashtra.
