He said strict measures like Public Discipline Fortnight, Pandemic Red Alert and Public Discipline Lockdown' by the state government to stop the spread of the virus have started showing results, but the infection rate and mortality rate is still worrying.
"In such a situation, we have to maintain the restraint and discipline in social behavior continuously, besides following the lockdown more strictly. Only then will we be able to reduce the danger of COVID-19," Gehlot said in a statement.
He was conducting a high-level review late Friday night on COVID-19, lockdown and availability of resources, the statement said.
Gehlot said the state government has made every effort to save the lives of people in this hour of crisis, but there has been a considerable spread of infection in cities and rural areas.
The chief minister said youths, pregnant women and children have also come in the grip of the infection.
The government's top priority is to strengthen the medical care facilities across the state to face such an adverse situation, he said.
