Maharshtra Covid Cases

Expressing concern over the rise in COVID-19 cases in Maharashtra, state Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar today said the use of face masks will have to be made mandatory if the spike continues.

The "third wave" of the coronavirus pandemic seems to be declining in the state though in some cities cases are showing an uptick, Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope said on Saturday.

19 children were found to be infected with Covid-19 at Maharashtra's Jawahar Navodaya University, following which 450 students were tested for the virus.

Maharashtra's COVID-19 recovery rate is 96.21 per cent, while the fatality rate is 2.04 per cent, the official said.

Seventy-nine per cent of the 45,903 new COVID-19 cases are from ten states and Union Territories, with Delhi overtaking Maharashtra and Kerala by reporting 7,745 infections in a span of 24 hours to become the largest contributor to the single-day infections, the Union Health Ministry said on Monday.
