This indicates that the situation in Mumbai is improving. Meanwhile, in the last 24 hours, 5,542 new COVID-19 patients were found in Mumbai. This figure is the lowest among the number of patients seen daily in April. Earlier on March 31, 5,394 new cases of coronavirus were reported in Mumbai.
Moreover, the death toll in Mumbai has also been steadily rising in the last few days. A total of 64 people died in Mumbai in the last 24 hours. Also, 36 of them were already suffering from some ailment.
