India's Covid chart continued to show improvement today with the country recording 1.06 lakh cases, a drop of 12 per cent from yesterday's 1.14 lakh infections that were reported to be the lowest in two months.
Several states, including Maharashtra, have announced cautious steps towards restarting activities after over a month following a dip in Covid cases. But others like Haryana and Sikkim have announced their Covid-induced lockdowns will continue till June 14.
A day after reporting the lowest number of fresh cases since March 10, Maharashtra on Sunday reported further improvement in its Covid graph with the western state reporting 12,557 cases, the lowest in nearly three months. The fatality rate now stands at 1.72 per cent while the recovery rate is 95.05 per cent.
From today, Maharashtra will begin easing the restrictions, with the overall process extending across five phases based on the positivity rate and occupancy of beds with medical oxygen. Local trains in Mumbai, however, will carry only essential workers. Buses in the city will be allowed to ply full capacity, but passengers can't travel standing to avoid crowding.
