Close to 6,500 (6,489) Covid-19 deaths have been reported across Maharashtra in the first nine days of June, but almost 60% of these are from data reconciliation in which unrecorded deaths from previous months and weeks are added to the tally. For the third day in a row, Maharashtra reported under 11,000 cases on Wednesday. Fatalities for the day were under 300, but the state is reporting more deaths from the past. It added 10,989 cases and 261 deaths taking total cases to 58.6 lakh and the death toll to 1,01,833, but including 400 more casualties from the past. As many as 2,057 Covid-19 patients recovered in PMR on Wednesday as against the addition of 1,332 new cases.
