@the_news_21

As the cases in Maharashtra are spiking daily Health Minister Rajesh Tope has said that there are multiple reasons due to which cases are rising, negligence of citizens and a higher rate of testing in the state are some of them.

As per a report in India Today, the minister said that there is a possibility that other states are not carrying out adequate testing and “there are chances that other states are not reporting the exact figures [sic] of coronavirus patients”.

“I wish to emphasise that Maharashtra is carrying out all of the steps in a correct and transparent manner,” he added.

Pointing out a recent cricket match held in Ahmedabad, Tope said, “a crowd of more than 75,000 people recently came to watch the match, “I saw it on TV. There was a huge turnout, more than 75,000 people and no social distancing during the match. Now, look at the public rallies happening in the 4 election-bound states, the rallies are having a huge crowd, no one is wearing masks, there is no social distancing being followed.”

“I have an apprehension that these states are not reporting correct figures of Covid-19 cases.”
