Complete lockdown not a solution to curb COVID-19: Mah Health Min
Mumbai, Mar 16 : Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope has said that a complete lockdown is not a solution to curb the rising number of coronavirus cases in the state, however, a few restrictions will be tightened.
The Health Minister appealed to the people last evening to cooperate by following the Covid-19 guidelines.
