The COVID-19 threat has increased once again. On Thursday, we crossed the peak in terms of cases reported in September last year. While I see lockdown as an option, I am confident that the people of the state will voluntarily cooperate and abide by the rules of the pandemic, just like last time.
When the epidemic started last year, there was nothing to fight the virus, Mr. Thackeray said. “Now, we have at least one vaccine form. Therefore, it is a priority to ensure that everyone is vaccinated. People should come forward to take themselves in without hesitation.
