Maharashtra has reported two COVID-19-related deaths
since January this year, the state Health Department said on Tuesday.
In a release, the department said both fatalities were
reported from Mumbai and involved patients with comorbidities (simultaneous
presence of two or more medical conditions in a person).
One of the deceased had nephrotic syndrome with
hypocalcemia seizure, while the other was a cancer patient, it said.
The release said a total of 6,066 swab samples have
been examined for coronavirus since January, of which 106 tested positive for
the infectious disease. Of these, 101 were from Mumbai and the remaining from
Pune, Thane, and Kolhapur.
Currently, 52 patients are undergoing treatment for
mild symptoms, while 16 are being treated at hospitals, said the department.
“A spike in
COVID-19 cases is not only being seen in Maharashtra, but also in other states
and even other countries,” the release stated.
