More Healthcare Workers Test Positive In Mumbai
With seven deaths and at least 118 new COVID-19 cases reported on Friday, Maharashtra’s death toll touched 201, with 3,320 cases so far. The number of cases in Mumbai rose 2,120 with 77 new cases, according to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). The number in the Dharavi area reached 101.

Among the new cases, 23 were reported from Pune, four from Malegaon in Nashik and one from Thane district, said officials. Till date, 300 patients across the State have been discharged after a complete recovery.

Even as more frontline warriors such as doctors and nurses tested positive in Mumbai, two large hospitals that had been declared containment zones after numerous staff and doctors had been infected, are likely to resume their services soon.
