Cannot rule out further surge in Maha, say experts as Mumbai breaches 1 million mark

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai Maharashtra on Monday added 31,111 new Covid-19 cases, the drop can be attributed to a lower number of tests done in the last 24 hours. Experts said the next two weeks will be crucial in the state’s battle against the third wave of Covid-19 as the state could see a rise in cases due to the spread of the Omicron variant. Dr Shashank Joshi, a member of the State Covid task force, said that Mumbai is likely to see a decline in cases now and it could follow the pattern of the wave in South Africa. State Covid task force members said that Maharashtra’s numbers were primarily driven by the surge in Covid cases in Mumbai. Maharashtra’s numbers were driven mainly by Mumbai and the next two weeks are going to be crucial, he said, adding that “We cannot rule out a similar surge in the rest of Maharashtra.” Joshi said it would be “difficult to predict numbers” and added, “Maharashtra numbers were driven mainly by Mumbai.
