A ray in Covid dark: Mumbai sees dip of 3,876 cases

April 26, 2021 19:57

Mumbai's 24 hour Covid tally:

3,876 new COVID-19 cases

9,150 recoveries

70 deaths

Dr Shashank Joshi, a member of the Maharashtra government's COVID-19 task force and a renowned endocrinologist, said the turnaround was due to the metropolis

tacking the surge with the "ATM strategy", which is 'Assess, Triage and Transfer, and Management'.

"During the first wave, Mumbai used to hardly conduct 15,000 to 18,000 tests. However, during the second wave, the test numbers range between 40,000 and 50,000. Mumbai has passed the peak as cases are plateauing, but the plateau could

be longer," Joshi said.

He added that the second wave the country is facing is "more furious" than expected, which has been the trend worldwide, and appealed to people to adhere to COVID-19 norms strictly even after current restrictions in the state are relaxed.
