The financial capital on Saturday reported 454 new coronavirus positive cases and five fatalities, taking the tally to 7,40,761 and the toll to 16,079 while 580 patients recovered, a city civic body official said.
The number of infections in Mumbai remained above 400 on the fourth consecutive day. The city had reported 446 COVID-19 cases and six fatalities the day before.
Mumbai is now left with 4,676 active cases after 580 patients were discharged during the day, taking the total number of recoveries to 7,17,521, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official said.
