Mumbai saw a significant fall in both Covid-19 figures on Thursday, with the BMC confirming 660 more infections and 22 deaths. The test positivity rate (TPR) also dropped and was recorded at 2.59 per cent. The doubling rate of Covid-19 infections improved further and stood at 566 days.

After recording the lowest daily cases in the second wave on June 3, Mumbai saw a rise in numbers earlier last week, but they have remained below 1,000. The TPR dropped below 3 per cent on June 6 and the daily death toll dropped to single digit on June 8, both for the first time in the second wave. However, the fatalities rose again.
