After peaking and then falling sharply within a month, daily Covid-19 cases in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) have steadied at 3,700 to 3,800. During the first wave too, the reduction in cases happened over a long period of time.

The peak in the second wave came very early as compared to the first wave and the cases came down within a month. The region has been reporting a steady number of cases since last week. The fat, long tail of the pandemic was seen in the previous wave too.
