Mumbai, Jun 22 (IANS): Sounding fresh alarm bells, at least 21 cases of the dreaded Delta Plus variant of Covid-19 have been reported in Maharashtra, Health Minister Rakesh Tope has said.

"So far, we have found 21 cases of Delta Plus variant in the state," a grim Minister Tope said here late on Monday, as health circles went into a tizzy to tackle the unfolding new public health challenge.
