After recording a dip in daily Covid-19 cases on Saturday, the numbers rose once again on Sunday and the city saw more than 700 cases. However, the test positivity rate (TPR) was below 3 per cent. While the city reported 19 deaths, the state saw 9,361 fresh cases and 190 Covid fatalities on Sunday. Of the total number of deaths, 80 were recorded in the Kolhapur circle.

The city seems to be in the same phase as it was around December-January, when cases were between 500 and 700. It had taken a long time for the cases to come down before the second wave started. As per reports, 28,226 tests were conducted in Mumbai on Sunday, of which 733 were found positive, leading to a TPR of 2.6 per cent.
