Covid-19 claimed more lives in the city in August than in the preceding two months. Last month, 51 people succumbed to the virus, while the figure stood at 46 and 39 in June and July, respectively. The number of deaths in August is the highest since February when the third wave ended.

After the surge in cases from the third week of May, the number of deaths started increasing but eventually declined by July. But, with the increasing number of cases in the last week of July and August, fatalities again went up. August had less than half the number of cases as June, but more deaths were registered in the former month than the latter.
