Mumbai has reported a rise in COVID-19 cases with daily cases touching 100 and the number of active patients rising to 415 from 357 in just two days. Most of these cases are from areas such as Malabar Hill, Tardeo, Bandra West and Andheri West and were detected while going through mandatory testing before or after travelling via air or joining office. On Wednesday the city reported 98 cases, of which one patient needed hospitalisation.
Last month, the city reported 30 to 40 daily cases on an average. The daily tally stood at 83 on Tuesday. “It cannot be termed as a surge. There is a slight rise in cases and 99 per cent of them are asymptomatic and do not require hospitalisation,” said a civic official.
Prashant Gaikwad, assistant commissioner of D ward, said, “Most of the patients either have international travel history or got tested before travelling. But almost all of them are asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms.”
