Covid-19 have increased by 231% in May over April. Notably, until Monday, the city saw 215 admissions to hospitals, which is up from 65 in April.
Following this recent surge in cases, it also led to private facilities allocating beds for Covid patients. It is worth noting that the admissions are mostly among those above 60 years or with comorbidities.
This development comes following the cabinet minister Aslam Shaikh announcing last week that Maharashtra may impose another lockdown if Covid cases continue to surge and exceed the 1,000-mark in the state.
Aslam Shaikh had said last week, “given the pace at which patients are growing, restrictions will have to be put in place. Restrictions on airlines are still in place.
