Union Health Ministry Secretary Rajesh Bhushan informed that Maharashtra has 58% of the total active cases in country and it also reported 34% of the total deaths.
Health Ministry expressed grave concern over RT-PCR tests in the state and suggested them to pace the daily testing capacity.
"We have suggested state governments to increase the percentage of RT-PCR tests, which is reducing in Maharashtra in last few weeks.
Only 60% of total tests were done through RT-PCR method in Maharashtra last week.
We suggest states to take it to 70% or above," said Health Ministry Secretary Rajesh Bhushan during a press conference on COVID situation in country on April 06.
Eknath Shinde has stepped down as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra following the Mahayuti alliance’s resounding victory in the assembly elections. Shinde submitted his resignation to Governor C P Radhakrishnan, who requested him to serve as a caretaker CM until a successor is appointed.
The spotlight now shifts to the selection of the next chief minister, with BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis and Shinde both emerging as contenders. The BJP, which secured 132 seats to become the single-largest party, has bolstered its claim to the top post. However, the Shiv Sena, led by Shinde, is demanding continuity in leadership, citing coalition precedents and support from the party’s MLAs and the Maratha community.
