Mumbai on Friday reported 128 new Covid-19 cases, the sixth day in a row when the figure remained below 200, and no fresh fatality, a feat that occurred for the sixth time this month, a civic official said. The case tally in the metropolis is 10,56,207 and the toll stood unchanged at 16,691, while the discharge of 200 people took the recovery count to 10,35,626, which is 98 per cent of the caseload, he said.
He said 88 per cent or 113 of 128 new patients were asymptomatic, with just 15 of them needing hospitalisation and two requiring oxygen support in the past 24 hours. Only 721 of the 36,102 beds earmarked for Covid-19 treatment in the city are occupied now, the official said, adding that the active caseload of the city stood at 1,014.
