While most COVID-19 cases recorded in the recent surge have been mild, some have sought hospitalisation because symptoms could not be managed at home. These individuals make up about 6.5 per cent of the 613 active cases in the state (as of December 30). There have been three COVID deaths in Maharashtra; two were men—a septuagenarian with diabetes and an octogenarian with kidney disease—while the third was a 37-year-old woman with severe comorbidities.
In Mumbai, Dr Daksha Shah, executive health officer (EHO) of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), stated that approximately 14 beds in various hospitals across the city are currently occupied by COVID-19 patients. As of December 31, there are 693 active cases in the state and 137 of them are in Mumbai. As of Saturday, there were 10 ICU admissions in the state.
