Jumbo care centre set up at Malad

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Monday said the State had set up the infrastructure to deliver 15 lakh COVID-19 vaccine doses in a day. “Even if number of patients are decreasing, the new Delta Plus variant of coronavirus is spreading across the world and we should be prepared for the possible third wave. Everybody must follow all the health protocols. At the same time, vaccination is an important tool in a fight against the pandemic. Maharashtra has set up the infrastructure to deliver 15 lakh COVID-19 vaccine doses in a day,” Mr. Thackeray said. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) handed over a state-of-the-art jumbo COVID-19 centre it had constructed at Malad on the western suburbs to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
