Mumbai on Saturday recorded 5,888 new COVID-19 cases, the lowest daily rise in infections since March 30. Increased testing and isolation of patients alongwith the exodus of migrant labourers may have led to the decline, said an official.

Also, for the first time since April 12, when the city had reported 6,905 cases, the daily rise in infections in the country''s financial capital fell below 7,000 on Saturday. The caseload in the city stands at 6,22,109. The city on March 30 had reported 4,758 COVID-19 cases, after which the figures had risen.
