Maharashtra government has announced the formation of a task force or a special committee to monitor the changing COVID-19 situation in the state. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made the announcement while responding to a question raised by Opposition leader Ajit Pawar in the legislative Assembly on Wednesday. The move comes in view of the recent COVID surge in China and other countries.

“A task force or a special committee will be formed for studying the changing patterns. The committee will advise the government, and the recommendations will be implemented,” said Fadnavis, adding that the state would coordinate with the Centre over the same.
