Lockdown to be considered if oxygen requirement touches 800 metric tonne per day: Tope
Imposition of a fresh lockdown in Maharashtra will be considered only if the daily demand for medical oxygen touches 800 metric tonne, Public Health Minister Rajesh Tope said on Saturday.
The statement comes on a day when Maharashtra reported 1,485 Covid-19 cases and 12 deaths. This included two new cases of Omicron variant reported from Aurangabad, taking the tally of such cases to 110. Mumbai, meanwhile, reported 757 new Covid-19 infections, marking a rise in cases for the fifth day in a row, the BMC said.
