The city of Mumbai has been hit the worst since the spread of the coronavirus infection back in March. After multiple lockdowns and relentless preventive measures by the civic body and the healthcare workers, the city has just started to show some decline in the number of cases reported on the daily. However, the virus is still prominent and even though Unlock 3.0 has begun, the lives of Mumbaikars have not yet gone back to normalcy.

The report further states that in terms of fatality rate, the deaths are less than 1 per cent in the age group of 20 to 29 and 1.3 per cent in the age bracket of 30 to 39 as compared to 19 to 21 per cent in the older age groups.
