Where Mumbai goes, its satellite cities must follow, it seems. Even as cases in Mumbai see a rise, Navi Mumbai and Panvel too reflect the same trend.
In the last 20 days, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) and Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) have seen an exponential growth in COVID-19 cases. The active cases in NMMC area have grown almost by 27 per cent, whereas in PMC the growth is a whopping 62 per cent. The daily cases in both corporations have doubled within 20 days. The good news is that the mortality rate has remained unaffected despite growth in cases.
