The total number of coronavirus cases in Maharashtra reached 52 on Friday with three more persons testing positive, state Health Minister Rajesh Tope announced. As Maharashtra continued to lead in the number of active cases, Tope appealed to people to refrain from stepping out of their homes as 'isolation' was the key to battling the COVID-19 virus. The health minister also said that around five cases under treatment were improving and would be discharged soon, "proving that COVID-19 can be cured".
Now waging a war against the deadly virus, the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray’s Office has collaborated with Rohit Shetty for a video to spread awareness on the pandemic. The CMO's official account tweeted the video with the caption, "Let us all come together & win this #WarAgainstVirus Thank you @RSPicturez & all the artists for this"
