Mumbai For the first time since the third wave, Mumbai saw less than 1,000 Covid infections on Monday. The city reported 960 new infections and 11 deaths in the last 24 hours. On December 26, the city recorded 896 positive cases, the last time less than 1,000 cases were confirmed in a single day before the third wave. The Test Positivity Rate (TPR) in Mumbai fell to 2.1 percent on Monday after 45,618 tests were done in the previous 24 hours.
Previously, the TPR was around 2.5 percent on Sunday (January 30) and 3.6 percent on Saturday (January 29). On Monday, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) reported that 2,215 of Mumbai's 37,576 beds are now occupied. Experts confirmed that the declining trend in Mumbai has continued, but they also issued a cautionary note, stressing that authorities should keep a close eye on the pattern of cases for the following two weeks.
Suresh Kakani, the BMC's Additional Municipal Commissioner in charge of public health, predicted that Mumbai's TPR would drop even further by mid-February. "At the moment, more than 90% of the hospital beds are unoccupied. Only 25% of the beds were filled while the third was at its climax. The high vaccination rate in Mumbai has aided in combating the pandemic's third wave, according to Kakani.
The dropping data, according to Dr. Ishwar Gilada, Secretary-General of the Organized Medicine Academic Guild, show that the third wave's apex has passed. "We have a population that is highly vaccinated, and many people have developed antibodies as a result of the previous infection." "As a result, the number of instances has decreased," Dr. Gilada remarked.
