‘Corona is now more contagious’
Giving information about increasing the lockdown, CM Thackeray said, ‘There is a difference in the type of Kovid-19 virus this year compared to last year. It is now more contagious, spreading rapidly and patients are taking a long time to recover. ‘ He said, ‘We have another monster fungus in front of us which has to be fought. There are 3000 cases of mucormycosis in the state. The Coronavirus task force is monitoring it.
Continued dialogue with doctors
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray said continuous dialogue with doctors is going on. Today the medical sector is facing a challenge due to the lack of definitive medical requirements for Kovid conditions and the constantly changing avatars of the virus. Even if the vaccine is given, it will take a long time until two doses are given to the entire population. There is a possibility that the third wave may infect children. Keeping all this in mind, we have consistently emphasized the need to communicate with all doctors.
Taskforce constituted
CM Thackeray said Maharashtra is the first state in the country to have a task force of specialist doctors. A Taskforce of local specialist doctors has been formed in all the districts. A task force of pediatricians has been set up separately for children. To increase the scope to include all private doctors, online OPD is being organized and efforts are being made to ensure uniformity in treatment modalities.
