 "Coronavirus, vaccine, covid, drugs, clinical trials")
Rajasthan Health Minister Raghu Sharma said on Monday that the state is registering over 3,000 Covid-19 cases per day for the past few days, calling it a second peak of coronavirus in the state.
The Health Minister himself tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday and has been admitted to the RUHS Hospital here.
Precaution is the only way to save oneself from this pandemic, Sharma said, adding that there are many reasons for the spike in the number of Covid cases. Municipal corporation polls, panchayat polls, weather change, festivals and marriage season are a few of them. People have also been careless due to which Covid-19 is spreading, he added.
The health minister further said that massive preparations are being made for vaccines, though it will take time to reach the masses and therefore precaution is the only way to keep Covid-19 at bay.
He also urged people to wear masks, wash hands regularly and maintain social distancing.
