Sharp rise in Mumbai
According to TOI, Nearly a month since Covid curbs were eased, the daily tally in Mumbai crossed the 500 mark on Wednesday, rising to a two-month high of 515. The last time the daily tally was higher was on July 15 (528). Daily detections in the state also reported a slight surge, resting at 3,783 cases and 56 fatalities.
“Every Wednesday, we register a rise in cases as more people start coming for tests after the weekend dip in testing.
