Mumbai: A total of 1,170 people were hospitalised on Thursday in Mumbai, which was a marginal drop from Wednesday’s 1,218 hospitalisations. However, more than 100 (106) were put on oxygen support. While the overall bed occupancy of the city rose to nearly 17%, almost a quarter of the 2,636 ICU beds are now taken. The city’s biggest slum cluster, Dharavi, reported 107 cases, the highest ever one-day count since the start of the pandemic.
Civic officials said that considering the daily growth rate—cases increased by 31.7% in 24 hours -- Mumbai could see more than double of 20,000 cases in a day in the next few days. “Our daily highest projection was 20,000 that we reached rapidly. There is a possibility we may see double that number, given that cases are increasing by 30-40%,” said Suresh Kakani, BMC additional municipal commissioner. The city’s active cases reached 79,260, and it is likely Mumbai will breach its previous high of active cases of 91,100 — seen during the second wave peak —in the next 24 hours.
