The city’s Covid-19 situation for the month of June resembles November and December in 2020 when cases were on the decline after the peak of the first wave. In June, Covid-19 cases reduced to 20,290 from more than 50,000. The average test positivity rate (TPR) came down to 2.5 per cent but the number of deaths was still on the higher side at 519.

The second wave started receding in May itself, but its fat tail continues. While cases were less as compared to May, the daily average for new cases was 725. The city recorded more than 54,000 cases and 1,656 deaths in May.
