State can’t afford another lockdown, says CM Updated: Updated: Jagan tells officials to procure adequate vaccine doses from the Centre Share Article Jagan tells officials to procure adequate vaccine doses from the Centre Expressing concern at the rising number of COVID-19 cases, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy called for a concerted effort to control it so as to avoid another lockdown, which cost the State dearly last year. “COVID caused a staggering loss of ₹21,000 crore to the exchequer (in 2020).
