On Wednesday, the state had administered more than 6 lakh doses of Covid-19 vaccines, setting a single-day record of inoculating people against the infection, a top government official had said.
However, the Covid-19 situation of the state still requires consistent and efficient handling. On June 24 when Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray warned of a possible third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Maharashtra's tally crossed the 60 lakh-mark, catapulting it to the fourth slot globally, health officials said.
Keeping that in mind, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday directed the state health authorities to focus on seven districts in the state, where the Covid-19 infection count is relatively higher, and increase testing and vaccination there.
Thackeray also made it clear that there should be no hurry in relaxing the coronavirus-induced restrictions and the local administration should not take any chances considering the threat of the virus spread.
