The Covid toll has thus reached seven this month.
A 67-year-old Dombivli resident, who tested positive for Covid-19, died Wednesday morning at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa. KDMC health officer Dr Deepa Shukla said the patient was first admitted to a private hospital on May 24. He had fever and tested positive for Covid-19 soon after. As his condition worsened, he was transferred to Kalwa civic hospital, where he died due to complications linked to pre-existing conditions.
Last Friday, a 47-year-old Covid-19 patient from Kalyan, having typhoid, died.
One more patient with interstitial lung disease died on Wednesday. However, state health officials refused to give details, including location or age.
Dr Babita Kamlapurkar, joint director of health services, confirmed the death, but declined to elaborate. "These deaths do not have major significance in the context of the state's large population," she said.
"We can only confirm that it occurred in Maharashtra and that the patient had co-morbidities."
BMC said no new Covid-19 fatalities were recorded in Mumbai. "No recent death has been brought to our notice," said BMC executive health officer Dr Daksha Shah. Earlier this month, Mumbai recorded four deaths.
The number of Covid-19 cases in Navi Mumbai rose to 19 after four tested positive. NMMC said on Wednesday that 21 people showing symptoms were tested by RT-PCR besides two with Rapid Antigen test. (inputs by Eshan Kalyanikar)

Kareena Kapoor Khan reveals her ‘almost monastic' daily routine: ‘Dinner by 6 pm, lights out by…'
For Kareena Kapoor Khan, a good Indian meal every day is non-negotiable. Other things on that list include sleep and fitness routine, which she has carefully tweaked and tuned to suit her needs. Her routine at 44, she admits, is 'almost monastic'. 'Dinner by 6 pm, lights out by 9:30 pm, morning workouts before the world wakes up,' she said in an interview. 'My friends know not to expect me at parties. And they respect that. They know I'll be watching Schitt's Creek on low volume!' Khan added. According to her, the Covid-19 pandemic changed something in her. 'If I don't work out, I'm in a bad mood. Post-covid, I realised how important fitness is—not for vanity, but for well-being. It's my mood stabiliser, my anchor,' Khan, who is often seen doing yoga, strength training, or taking a walk, told The Nod magazine. Taking a cue from her revelation, let's learn how early dinners can benefit your metabolism and overall health. Eating dinner earlier in the evening, around 6:30 pm, can have several positive effects on metabolism and overall health, particularly for individuals aged 44-45, said Dr Aarti Ullal, physician and diabetologist, Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai. 'Firstly, having an early dinner allows more time for digestion before bedtime. This can improve gastrointestinal function, reduce the risk of acid reflux, and promote more restful sleep. A well-rested body is essential for metabolic health, as sleep is linked to hormone regulation, including those that control hunger and appetite,' said Dr Ullal. It can also help stabilise blood sugar levels. 'When dinner is timed appropriately, it allows the body to use glucose more efficiently, reducing the risk of insulin resistance, a common concern as we age. Lowered insulin levels can aid in weight management and decrease the risk of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes,' said Dr Ullal. Eating earlier can also encourage healthier food choices. 'When we eat late, there is a tendency to opt for quick, often less nutritious options. With an earlier dinner, individuals can prepare balanced meals, incorporating whole foods rich in nutrients, which are important for maintaining muscle mass and energy levels during middle age,' said Dr Ullal. Lastly, social and family routines can benefit from this practice, allowing more time to unwind after dinner and engage in physical activity, whether it's a post-meal walk or preparing for bed.
