Doctors say second wave is on decline in city
MUMBAI: While Mumbai continued to report single-digit Covid-19 fatalities (6), the state reported 286, the highest in nearly 45 days.
Maharashtra reported 6,857 cases on Wednesday. The total cases climbed to 62.8 lakh and deaths rose to 1,32,145.
Officials blamed the surge in fatalities on some districts updating their data and adding old deaths to their tally. Vasai-Virar added 56 deaths on Wednesday while Raigad district added 34 deaths and Satara added 40 deaths.
The daily Covid-29 cases in Mumbai climbed to 403, two days after registering the lowest-in-15-months tally of 297.
