Mumbai's positivity rate - the percentage of Covid tests returning a positive result - has dropped to 8.78 per cent; this was around 10 per cent last week
Mumbai on Tuesday evening reported 2,554 new Covid cases in the previous 24 hours. These are the lowest daily numbers for over five weeks. The city also reported 62 deaths linked to the virus. However, only 29,076 coronavirus tests were conducted over 24 hours, leading to some concern that the number of new cases reported every day may, in fact, be higher. Mumbai's testing peaked at around 56,000 per day in April; on average city officials conducted around 44,000 tests per day last month. Over the past few days that number has dropped to below 30,000; on Sunday fewer than 28,000 Covid tests were carried out in a 24-hour period. "... testing touched 56,000 a day last month. Average daily testing in April was nearly 44,000 per day. We need to increase testing (now) to 40,000 per day at least..." Iqbal Singh Chahal, the municipal commissioner, told news agency PTI on Sunday.
