Maharashtra government likely to announce lockdown in state tomorrow, said Health Minister Rajesh Tope. “We have requested the CM to announce a complete lockdown in the state from tomorrow at 8 pm. This was the request of all ministers to CM, now it is his decision,” Mr Tope was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Maharashtra, the worst-hit state in the country, has been reporting over 50,000 daily coronavirus cases for several days amid the rapid second wave of infections. On Tuesday, it reported 58,924 coronavirus cases and 351 fatalities in a day.

The massively increased caseload has exerted tremendous pressure on the state’s health infrastructure, causing shortages of hospital beds, medicines and life-saving oxygen.
