Recently Maharashtra state textile minister Aslam Shaikh tested positive for coronavirus and is isolating himself. It took only six days for the state to record around 50,000 cases.
The condition of state is deteriorating everyday. However, the state government is trying every effort to curb the spread of virus. In Mumbai the state government has been somewhat successful and hopefully the virus will be brought under control in other parts of state before a vaccine is discovered.
