Maha CM terms launch of COVID-19 vaccination drive “revolutionary step”

Mumbai:  Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday termed the launch of the COVID-19 vaccination drive a “revolutionary step” and recalled efforts of health and frontline workers during the pandemic period.
Launching the vaccination drive at the COVID care centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) here, the chief minister said the “corona warriors” had selflessly treated the COVID-19 patients when there was no remedy available.
“Those days still give me shivers. The situation was really adverse and grim then. Hospitals were flooded with COVID-19 patients. How to proceed was a big question before everyone and no solution was in sight. Everyone was under pressure because of the situation,” he said.
Thackeray said it was due to efforts of health workers and corona warriors that this COVID centre now has no patient to treat.
He also hailed the commitment of health workers and corona warriors to save people.
“I hope that the number of COVID care centres without patients becomes more in the coming days,” he said.
