The number of cases of COVID-19 continued to grow as four new patients tested positive at Kasturba Hospital in Mumbai on Saturday, taking the city's count to nine cases. While civic officials said that all those who tested positive in Mumbai are stable, other positive cases were confirmed in other parts of the state, taking the tally up to 31.

According to civic officials, 55 suspected patients were tested on Saturday, out of which four tested positive. While one of the patients is from Mumbai, the second is from Kamothe, third from Kalyan and the fourth from Vashi. "We have already carried out contact tracing for all the people who came in contact with those who tested positive," said Daksha Shah, deputy executive health officer of the civic health department. The patient from Mumbai is the son of the 64 year old patient who tested positive earlier this week and was previously being treated for a heart ailment at Hinduja Hospital. He was transferred to Kasturba Hospital on Friday and his wife also tested positive for COVID-19 the same day.
