The Maharashtra government is studying the Delhi government’s lockdown order and chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is expected to take a call on whether to further tighten curbs in the next two days. The state is also planning to curtail timing of essential stores so as to restrict unnecessary public movement.
Last week the state government announced a fifteen-day curfew to contain the pandemic but its implementation has not been rigorous. Amidst shortage of oxygen and hospital beds there is a call from state cabinet ministers to impose a lockdown.
State’s relief and rehabilitation minister Vijay Wadettiwar today said the current restrictions have not helped to reduce Covid-19 cases and the chief minister will decide whether to impose a lockdown in the next two days.

NASHIK: A number of senior citizens, healthcare workers and people over 45 with underlying conditions have contracted Covid after at least one dose of the Covid vaccine. But the infection in those who ve received their jabs is mild and most of them recover at home, one analysis of such cases in Nashik has found.
The data from Nashik, of 150 people who developed infection after at least one shot, found only 25 went on to need hospitalisation, five of them with serious symptoms. But all of them recovered within 14 to15 days. And importantly, no family members were infected.
Jitendra Dhaneshwar, divisional medical officer from the Nashik Road division, said most of the 150 people in the study were citizens (70% over 60; 25% in the 45-plus age group). The rest of the 5% were healthcare workers.
