सुरक्षेच्या दृष्टिकोनातून कोरोना चाचणी केली असता ती टेस्ट पॉझिटिव्ह आली आहे. माझ्या संपर्कात आलेल्या सर्वांनी आपली कोरोना टेस्ट करून घ्यावी व काळजी घ्यावी ही विनंती.

The main matter of concern is that just two days ago was Harshvardhan Patil's daughter Ankita's wedding with Nihar Thackeray in Mumbai was attended by important and senior leaders like Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari among many key politicians.

In the last two weeks, Maharashtra has seen a rapid surge in COVID-19 and Omicron cases. The BMC has imposed Section 144 until January 7, 2022, to curb the virus. Other restrictions are also in place.
