Don't think we will reach complete lockdown stage: Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray
MUMBAI: Maharashtra chief minister
Uddhav Thackeray said on Friday complete lockdown is not coming soon.
"A complete lockdown may be necessary but I don't think we will reach that stage," he said.
He added, Maharashtra would have seen nine to ten lakh active coronavirus cases if the state government had not imposed new lockdown-like restrictions.
He also said that the inoculation against
Covid-19 for those above 18 years of age will start from Saturday 'as per the availability' of vaccine doses.
The latest restrictions helped contain the daily spike in coronavirus cases and active cases have now stabilised at around 6.5 lakh, Thackeray said in a televised address on the eve of Maharashtra's Foundation Day.
