Almost 21,000 Covid tests were conducted in the financial capital and the positivity rate remained at 4.94 per cent.
Mumbai recorded 1,037 coronavirus cases and 37 deaths (lowest since April 9) in the last 24 hours maintaining a steady decline in infections for the past few days. Maharashtra recorded 24,136 cases and 601 deaths in the last 24 hours. Almost 21,000 Covid tests were conducted in the financial capital and the positivity rate remained at 4.94 per cent. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has declared Covid positivity rate below 5 per cent to be within the safe zone. The dip in cases can be attributed to the state-wide lockdown in Maharashtra that has bore the brunt of the deadly second wave of Covid as it swept the country. For now, the lockdown will be in place in the state till June 1. Mumbai, a densely populated city, saw an upward trend in Covid cases a month ago and reached numbers that left the healthcare system crippled across the country. The Maharashtra capital saw an acute shortage of oxygen but controlled the Covid graph with timely solutions.
