PUNE: The number of daily Covid-19 cases increased to 11,748 in the Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR) on Tuesday, its highest single-day patient tally since April 29 last year when 11,872 people had tested positive.
The Tuesday’s case rise follows Monday’s detection drop, a trend which is often attributed to fewer tests during the weekend. However, less number of tests were carried out in PMR on Tuesday as compared to the previous day, but the cases still jumped, which can be due to pending test reports, a health official said.
