Covid-19 deaths in Mumbai rise to three amid ongoing surge
Mumbai: City health authorities revised the Covid-19 death toll in the recent surge from two to three, following the delayed reporting of an earlier fatality. "It was an old death that is reported now," said BMC's executive health officer, Dr Daksha Shah. The deceased was a 70-year-old man with heart disease who died at a private hospital nine days ago. His positive reports came after the death, and the BMC was informed about it two days ago. Dr Shah said the cause of death in this, like the previous two cases, was not Covid-19. On Sunday, the city reported two Covid-19 deaths—a 14-year-old girl with kidney disease and a 59-year-old woman with cancer—at civic-run KEM Hospital, Parel. Health officials maintained the patients died due to their preexisting conditions. Mumbai has seen a rise in Covid cases in May, with 177 of the city's 183 total cases for the year reported this month. Some patients were admitted at Seven Hills Hospital, Marol, for isolation, but none are critical. Meanwhile, neighbouring Thane city has reported 10 Covid-19 patients in the last three days. "They have mild symptoms and are being treated at home," said Thane Municipal Commissioner Saurabh Rao. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Rhea Reports Creative Content Services at Rhea Reports rhreareports Learn More Undo A 19-bed ward is operational at TMC's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Hospital, Kalwa, with RTPCR testing facilities.

Rain, thunderstorm likely to take heat out of nautapa this season
Indore: Pre-monsoon rainfall and thunderstorms are expected during Nautapa — the traditional nine-day spell of intense summer heat — this year in parts of Indore and Ujjain divisions, making a shift from the usual pattern of soaring temperature. This year, nautapa will begin from May 25. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted a gradual rise in temperature, but rainfall and thunderstorm activity are likely to persist throughout the period. "Rainfall and thunderstorms are expected to continue until the onset of the monsoon," said IMD, Bhopal director Dr Vedprakash Singh. He added that due to prevailing weather systems, the heat typical of nautapa may not be as intense this year for Indore and nearby areas. A significant fall in temperature by 2–3 degrees is expected after the next two days. Currently, Indore and Ujjain divisions are witnessing below-normal maximum temperature for the past ten days. On Wednesday, Indore recorded a maximum of 36.8 degrees Celsius (four degrees below normal) and a minimum of 26.3 degrees Celsius, a degree above normal, with traces of rainfall during the evening. Warnings have been issued for various districts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Rhea Reports Creative Content Services at Rhea Reports rhreareports Learn More Undo Thunderstorms with lightning and gusty winds at 50–60 km per hour would be witnessed in Burhanpur, Khandwa, Khargone, Barwani, Alirajpur, Jhabua. Heatwave conditions would persist in Gwalior, Datia, Bhind, Morena, Chhatarpur, Tikamgarh, Niwari. Moderate thunderstorms (40–50 km/h) may be witnessed in Dhar, Indore, Ratlam, Ujjain, Dewas, Shajapur. Light rainfall or drizzle with thunder/lightning is expected at isolated places across several districts in the state till May 25. Though the weather condition comes as a welcome respite for Indoreans, but changes during nautapa can harm the seasonal crops in the state. "Rabi crops have been harvested and no significant crops are sown now. The weather change during nautapa can affect horticulture crops like urad and moong. Fruits, especially mangoes, watermelons, musk melons, along with maize crops in some parts, can face damage due to strong winds and thunderstorms," said the weatherman.
