Few days ago the health minister in the view of impending third wave of COVID-19 said that Maharashtra government is preparing itself.

Talking about the preparations, the minister said, “We’ve kept oxygen, beds, medical staff and medicines prepared.”

“According to the govt and ICMR we’ve laid emphasis on pediatrics,” the health minister added.
