More than half of country's total Covid cases from Kerala, Maharashtra: Health ministry
India TodayMore than half of country's total Covid-19 cases are from two states -- Maharashtra and Kerala -- the health ministry said on Friday, adding that the second wave is not completely gone yet. Health ministry joint secretary Lav Agarwal, during a press conference on the Covid-19 situation in the country, stressed that Covid norms should not be flouted as the virus is still very much there. Reiterating the importance of following Covid precautions, the health ministry joint secretary mentioned how the virus has shown a resurgence in the United Kingdom, which hosted the Euro Cup 2021 semi-finals with a sea of football fans enjoying the match flouting Covid norms. Health ministry's word of caution comes as daily cases in the country have dipped considerably and there is a dire need that the deciding trend continues to keep the third wave at bay.
