COVID-19 infection patterns in Maharashtra and the patients' history has reassured the state administration that the state hasn't had a community transmission of the virus yet, though the number of positive cases increased to 89 by Monday morning, with Mumbai having added 15 more cases.

Public health minister Rajesh Tope said it was somewhat good news not only in the state but also in the country where similar observations have been made. This may prove helpful for healthcare services as the country has almost entered stage III of the Covid-19 pandemic.
