Mumbai: The financial capital on Tuesday reported 102 fresh COVID-19 cases, the highest one-day rise after February 27 this year, taking the tally of infections to 10,59,433, an health official said.
So far, 1,039,322 people have been discharged post the Covid-19 recovery, including 85 in the last 24 hours, leaving Mumbai with 549 active cases, the official added.
Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) last week directed private general practitioners, municipal dispensaries and assistant commissioners of the 24 wards of Mumbai to keep an eye on Covid-19 cases reported in clusters. Additionally, assistant commissioners have also been asked to carry out contact tracing of up to 15 high-risk contacts and enforce home or institutional quarantine.
The directive comes following a slight spike in the daily Covid-19 cases reported in Mumbai over the past week with low cases on a few days.
