MUMBAI: With an addition of 40,805 fresh cases, Maharashtra's Covid-19 case tally went past the 75 lakh grim mark on Sunday. The state has contributed to 19% of India's case load of 3.9 crore cases.
The fresh detections on Sunday were a 12% drop compared to the previous day. The slump, though, can be attributed to fewer tests carried out during the weekend compared to weekdays. The Pune region that is driving the wave now contributed to 37% of the new cases, whereas MMR's share dropped to 16%.
