Despite crowding in public places and huge gatherings during Ganeshotsav, the number of Covid-19 cases registered in September was relatively low. The deaths were on the higher side though, as it is a reflection of the surge in cases in the earlier months. Also, there was an increase in cases of malaria and dengue, which are monsoon-related infectious diseases, last month.
After the third wave, which occurred between December and January, there were no restrictions and normalcy resumed. But in June, the cases started rising, sparking fear of a fourth wave.
