For three consecutive days in Mumbai, there has been a stir due to the arrival of more than 20 thousand cases of COVID-19. However, the daily caseload showed a 30 per cent drop in the city and nearly 25 per cent drop in the state recently.
Mumbai recorded 13,648 positive patients and five fatalities, according to the data released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
Meanwhile, the state recorded 33,470 new cases and eight deaths were reported on Monday, pushing its tally to 69,53,514, with 1,41,647 fatalities so far.
Officials have attributed this drop to the decrease in COVID-19 testing.
