Coronavirus in Maharashtra

Maharashtra is one of the states which has seen an alarming swell in the number of cases. The state has reported 748 positive cases of Coronavirus while 45 have succumbed to the virus whereas 56 have recovered and discharged as on April 6. Of the 748 cases in Maharashtra, 400 cases have been reported from Mumbai alone.

As there is no vaccine or specific antiviral medicine to treat COVID-19, countries including India have been grappling with all possible mechanisms to contain its spread. The Centre and the State governments are trying their best to contain the virus but as the virus is fast-contagious, social distancing and maintaining hygiene is the need of the hour.
