Coronavirus situation in Maharashtra is very concerning and the trend is worrisome, said the union health ministry on Thursday, adding that the reduced testing, tracing and inappropriate behaviour has led to the surge in infections. Maharashtra has shown a worrisome trend, the mutant strain has not been found incriminating in this surge in cases. It is just related to reduced testing, tracking and tracing and Covid inappropriate behaviour and large congregations, ICMR Director General Dr Balram Bhargava said at a briefing. We are very worried about Maharashtra. This is a serious matter. This has two lessons- don t take the virus for granted and if we have to remain Covid free, then, we need to follow Covid appropriate behaviour, said Dr V K Paul, Member (Health), NITI Aayog.
