MUMBAI: Reconciliation of ‘old’ deaths is becoming common even in July. In the first 10 days of the month, the state has added 2,224 reconciliation deaths to the total. In Compare, the number of ‘recent’ deaths in the same period stood at 1,709.
The state had started the reconciliation exercise on May 17. Barring the last two days of June and the first two days of July, the state has added chronic, unrecorded deaths almost every day in the last two months. While 6,207 ‘chronic’ deaths were added to the toll in May, it rose to 19,059 in June. In all, the state has added around 27,500 deaths through reconciliation since May, apart from the number of deaths reported in a 48-hour window. Pune contributed the most to reconciliation deaths. Of the 194 added on Sunday, 154 were from Pune district and 18 from Sangli.
On Sunday, Maharashtra added 8,535 new cases, a slight increase from the cases seen on Saturday taking the state’s total caseload to 61,57,799. The state recorded 156 deaths in a period of 48 hours and a few last week, in addition to 194 reconciliation deaths. The state’s total number has reached 1,25,878.
For the fourth consecutive day, Mumbai reported 600 (558) cases and 15 deaths on Sunday. The city’s total cases exceeded 7.3 lakh and deaths exceeded 15,600. Active cases decreased to 11,423 from 11,558 on Saturday. Active cases continued to rise in the state – from 1.14 lakh on Saturday to 1.16 lakh on Sunday.
Akola circle did not record a single death on Sunday, while Nagpur and Latur circle recorded one death each and Nashik three. State officials said that western Maharashtra and Konkan are still a cause of concern as the Kolhapur circle alone has reported 74 deaths, while the Pune circle is on the second spot with 32 deaths.
Speaking in his hometown Jalna, Public Health Minister Rajesh Tope said that he has proposed to CM Uddhav Thackeray that certain restrictions should be imposed to enter the state border as the fear of a third wave looms large. “Entry into the state should be restricted without a Covid negative report. Admission should also be made conditional to take both the vaccine jabs,” Tope said.
