The state's recovery rate dropped marginally as it reported the highest ever daily count of 14,888 cases on Wednesday taking the total tally to 7.18 lakh cases. While Mumbai had a higher daily count due to reconciliation of the previous day's figures, there were fewer fatalities with 28 COVID-related deaths. Health department officials said that Pune continued to report the highest count with 2,222 cases followed by Mumbai with 1,854.

Civic officials said that fewer cases were reported on Tuesday due to some technical issues in the ICMR website and some cases were added to Wednesday's tally. In other districts, a higher count was seen with 1,265 cases in Nagpur, 1,008 in Pimpri-Chinchwad and 952 in Nashik.
