For the second consecutive day on Tuesday, Mumbai saw a drop in daily COVID-19 cases while the state also witnessed a decline in the numbers. While this might be a sign of respite, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) struggles to increase the pace of the vaccination drive due to glitches in the CoWin app, a reason that they have cited for not being able to give the second dose to healthcare workers despite them arriving at the respective centres.

AMID rising concerns over the sudden spike in daily COVID-19 cases over the past couple of days, the city saw some relief for the second consecutive day with a dip in the number of infections. With the state government and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) taking strict action against those found violating COVID-19 protocols, the authorities concerned said that they would hopefully be successful in controlling the numbers again.
