Maharashtra: 75-year-old Man Becomes First Covid Death In Months

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.

In the meantime, Mumbai reported 10 new Covid-19 cases on Wednesday, bringing its total infection count to 11,64,108. Unfortunately, this additional death pushed the fatality toll to 19,776. The previous day, the city reported seven Covid-19 cases and no fatalities.
