Covid Situation "Alarming": Maharashtra Minister Says "Some Complacency"

Days after a number of urban centres in the state began to reimpose restrictions on people's movement, Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope today said the emerging Covid-19 situation was indeed alarming. He has warned that strict action may have to be taken once he talks to the Chief Minister, District Collectors, and Police Commissioners today. He went to the extent of using the word "lockdown" with reference to some districts, even though he qualified it with "if required".
