Maharashtra Health Minister urges people to follow COVID-appropriate behaviour
Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope on Saturday said all five people who have succumbed to the Delta Plus variant in the State so far had comorbidities and were over 65 years old. Speaking to reporters, Mr. Tope said, “We cannot confidently say that these deaths were only due to the Delta Plus variant. All the deceased had a number of comorbidities and were over 65 years. I, however, appeal to all to be alert and continue following COVID-appropriate behaviour.” The Minister said the Directorate of Medical Education and Research has been collecting 100 samples from every district to keep track of the spread of the variant.More Related News
