The state is aiming to inoculate 3 lakh people daily, as the number of active cases in the state is on the rise and will cross the 2 lakh-mark soon, given the positivity rate.
With the present positivity rate, Maharashtra’s active Covid-19 caseload may reach the three lakh-mark by the first week of April, Maharashtra health secretary Pradeep Vyas said on Thursday, as the state breached all past records of single-day spike since the beginning of the pandemic in the last year and reported 25,833 new Covid-19 cases on Thursday. State health minister Rajesh Tope said the state is facing the second peak of the pandemic.
