As Omicron cases surfaced in Maharashtra, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) on Monday stated that vaccination and masks are the two best available preventative options.
The IMA-Maharashtra, the apex body of doctors in the state, is keeping a close watch on the situation.
“We appeal to people in the state to abide by the Covid-specific protocols strictly. We advise strict use of masks, maintain hygiene and avoid crowding,” Dr Suhas Pingle, president, IMA-Maharashtra State, said.
Dr Pingle appealed to people in the state to complete both doses of vaccination.
The IMA team will communicate with the government authorities regarding the emerging situation.
