Omicron scare: Will Maharashtra govt impose lockdown? Here’s what health minister Rajesh Tope has to say

@the_news_21

Fresh lockdown will be imposed in Maharashtra only if the demand for medical oxygen touches 800 metric tons per day, public health minister Rajesh Tope said on Saturday.

The day before, the state government banned the assembly of more than five persons in public places between 9 pm to 6 am and restricted the number of people allowed at public functions in view of a spurt in coronavirus cases.

Omicron cases were increasing “rapidly”, but in general such patients were not ending up in ICU nor did they need supplementary oxygen, Tope said, speaking to reporters in Jalna.

“There will be statewide lockdown only if the demand for medical oxygen rises to 800 metric tons (per day),” he added.

The minister did not mention the current rate of consumption of medical oxygen in the state.

“We do not want people to face more restrictions, therefore I am making an appeal to people to follow Covid-appropriate behaviour. Wearing a mask is very important,” he said.

  2. You can shelter yourself and your family by way of being cautious when buying pharmaceutical online. Some druggist’s websites manipulate legally and offer convenience, solitariness, cost savings and safeguards as a replacement for purchasing medicines. http://playbigbassrm.com/es/
