The city on Thursday saw an increase in cases as well as testing with 20,408 samples being tested of which 2,479 came positive for Covid-19. This has brought down the positivity rate to 12 per cent from 16.88 per cent recorded on Wednesday. One patient in Mumbai also succumbed to the infection on Thursday.

The city reported more than 2,000 cases after a gap of four days. However, officials from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation said that the ICMR portal was not functional for the past 2 days, hence some old cases have been reported in today’s report. Mumbai’s Covid tally has now reached 11,01,862.
