Covid-19 second wave may be a tsunami, warns Thackeray

Mumbai, Nov 22 : With Covid-19 cases again surging in some parts of the the country, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday hinted at Lockdown 2.0, saying the possible second wave may be a “Tsunami”.
Both Thackeray and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar have urged people not to throw precaution to the winds, but remain on high alert and follow all protocols scrupulously.
Addressing the state this evening, Thackeray reiterated that the best possible preventive measures are wearing a face mask, physical distancing, cleanliness and avoiding overcrowding in public places.
“We don’t have the vaccine yet, nor is there any treatment. So we have to stick to the preventive measures till then. Don’t be under any mistaken impression that because everything is being opened up, the coronavirus has been conquered,” he warned.
“We don’t want another lockdown. I don’t want to end five years with lockdown after Lockdowns. Though all festivals were celebrated with restraint, the danger has not yet subsided,” he said.
In Pune, Pawar said that huge crowds were witnessed during Diwali celebrations, and there were large numbers out even during Ganeshotsav.
