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.

As many as 2,057 Covid-19 patients recovered in PMR on Wednesday as against the addition of 1,332 new cases.
