Active Covid-19 cases in MBMC surge to 607

The sudden surge in the number of fresh Covid-19 detections, coupled by comparatively lower recoveries, the active cases in the twin-city has now jumped to 607.

While just 112 cases were reported between February 14 to 19, 394 people have tested positive in the last week of February, intensifying worries for citizens and the health department of the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC).

42 more people tested positive on Sunday. The steady decline in the number of fresh detections supported by healthy recovery rate cases had ensured that the number of active cases oscillated from 300 to 325 and occasionally dipping below 300 in the past couple of months.

With the latest additions the number of cumulative positive cases has reached 27,101. The number of active cases in the twin-city has now jumped to 607 till Sunday night.
