No room for complacency, we are preparing for third Covid wave: Maharashtra CM

Amid indications of Covid-19 cases plateauing in Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday warned there was no room for showing complacency and said the government is preparing to deal with a third wave of the infection.

He said though some districts have shown a steady decline in Covid-19 cases, some others are still exhibiting an upward trend, but the number of patients under treatment has dropped from what it was in April-end.

Thackeray said he has asked officials to work in a mission mode to ramp up the production of medical oxygen, used in treating serious Covid-19 patients, ahead of the third wave of the infection hitting Maharashtra, the worst coronavirus-affected state in the country.
