India TodayAmid the spike in new Covid infections in the state, the health authorities in Maharashtra have directed people who went outside the state for vacation during Christmas and New Year holidays to isolate themselves for five days.

The task force, assessing the next 15 days as highly crucial to prevent Covid infections, advised people that those experiencing fever, cold, and cough should get tested for Covid. The Covid task force will prepare a detailed clinical protocol regarding patient medication and discharge policy, according to the minutes of the second Covid Task Force meeting attended by high-ranking medical officers from the state.
