Maharashtra is witnessing a surge in the Covid-19 cases. However, health authorities said that most patients are exhibiting mild symptoms of the virus.
The state government continues active surveillance through Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) monitoring to track the virus.
Since January, a total of 8,282 Covid-19 tests have been conducted in Maharashtra, of which 435 turned out to be positive. On Tuesday alone, 66 new cases were reported from across the state, with Mumbai recording 31 cases.
Eighteen cases were reported in Pune Municipal Corporation, seven in Thane Municipal Corporation, four in Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation, three in Panvel Municipal Corporation, two in Nagpur Municipal Corporation and one in Sangli.
So far, 106 patients have recovered from the virus. Currently, 325 active Covid-19 patients remain under treatment across the state. The majority of cases are mild and are being managed through government health facilities, which continue to offer testing and treatment services.
However, four deaths have been reported since January, all involving patients with underlying health conditions. These included cases of nephrotic syndrome with seizures, cancer, cerebrovascular disease, and diabetic ketoacidosis combined with respiratory infection.
Health officials emphasise that the increase in Covid-19 cases is not unique to Maharashtra but has also been observed in other states and some countries worldwide. The administration has urged to remain calm and continue following the recommended safety protocols.
