MUMBAI: Even as the state’s daily Covid-19 cases crossed 300 (334) after almost five months, the number of Covid deaths in March climbed to 10 with one in Solapur on Wednesday. The rise in Covid activity in Maharashtra can be gauged from the fact that only 32 cases were reported on March 1, and there were no deaths in February.

Mumbai, which was the worst hotspot in India during most of the Covid waves in 2020 and 2021, has however only contributed to less than a third of the state’s tally (71) on Wednesday. There have been no Covid deaths in the city in February and March so far.
A civic doctor from Mumbai said Covid cases are being increasingly detected in patients scheduled for procedures or brought to hospital due to high fever. “Covid is caused by a novel virus. We will see a rise in cases or outbreaks from time to time,” said the doctor. There has been a slight increase in hospitalisations in Mumbai in the last week; from only one hospitalised patient, the city now has 26 patients hospitalised on Wednesday. The BMC update said 10 of these patients are on oxygen support.
The country is reeling under viral fever, with the influenza H3N2 virus, the Covid-causing SARS-CoV-2 and adenoviruses sending many to hospitals. The state’s influenza update on Wednesday said 3.1 lakh were suspected of suffering from flu viruses H1N1 or H3N2 since January 1.
