After a considerable lull, Maharashtra has registered a Covid-19-related death, marking the first fatality in months. However, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) clarified that this death did not occur recently; it actually took place back in July. The BMC noted that the death was officially recorded on Wednesday.
Dr Daksha Shah, the BMC’s Executive Health Officer, mentioned that the deceased was a 75-year-old man with a history of liver carcinoma. While the man had contracted Covid-19, the infection was not the primary cause of his demise.
