3 more Covid deaths in the state, toll rises to 17
Mumbai: Maharashtra reported three more Covid-related deaths, bringing the total death toll this year to 17 on June 4. The fatalities have been reported in multiple cities: Mumbai (4), Kalyan-Dombivli (3), Navi Mumbai (3), Thane (1), Nagpur (2), Kolhapur (2), and one each from Satara and Sangli. On June 4, the state recorded 105 new Covid-19 cases, with the highest daily numbers from Pune (33) and Mumbai (32). With this, Maharashtra's total number of Covid infections in 2025 has reached 1,064—of which over 50% (541 cases) are from Mumbai. Notably, Mumbai saw a major surge of cases in May, contributing 535 of the total cases this year, with 526 active Covid cases in the state currently. Most of the infected patients have presented with mild symptoms. The state continues to test patients under the Influenza-like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) surveillance strategy. A detailed analysis of the deceased shows that 16 of the 17 patients had comorbidities such as chronic kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypertension, or immunosuppressive conditions. Recent fatalities include a 76-year-old man from Kalyan-Dombivli with cancer, and a 79-year-old woman from Navi Mumbai with diabetes, hypertension, and a brain stroke. In response to the rising cases, the director general of health services convened a national-level meeting with all the states. Health departments have been instructed to remain prepared for any surge in infections. States have been advised to stock essential medicines, oxygen, isolation beds, and ventilators. Mock drills are to be conducted at treatment centers. Additionally, health authorities have been directed to test 5% of patients with respiratory illnesses for Covid-19. Positive samples are to be sent for genome sequencing to monitor for any emerging variants. Officials have assured that testing and treatment facilities remain available at public hospitals and have urged citizens not to panic.

In response to a recent uptick in Covid-19 infections, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare will conduct a nationwide facility-level mock drill on June 5 to assess hospital readiness across the country, official sources confirmed. The exercise comes as India reported an increase of 276 active Covid cases on Wednesday, bringing the total number of active cases to 4,302, according to data released by the Ministry. Seven deaths were recorded in the past 24 hours, with Maharashtra accounting for four, and Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Gujarat reporting one fatality each. The cumulative death toll now stands at 44. The upcoming drill will evaluate preparedness in critical areas such as isolation wards, oxygen supply, ventilator availability, and essential medicines. It aims to ensure that hospitals are equipped to respond effectively in the event of another surge in cases. The decision to conduct the drill follows a series of technical review meetings chaired this week by Director General of Health Services (DGHS), Dr. Sunita Sharma, amid growing concern over the rise in infections. States have been instructed to ensure the availability and functionality of vital medical infrastructure. As part of these preparations, a preliminary mock drill was held on June 2, specifically assessing oxygen supply systems including Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) plants, Liquid Medical Oxygen (LMO) tanks, and Medical Gas Pipeline Systems (MGPS). The June 5 mock drill is part of a broader strategy to proactively reinforce the country's Covid response mechanism and maintain robust healthcare readiness across all states and union territories.
