According to the Mumbai Municipal Corporation administration, it took 12 days for the first wave of corona to increase the daily number of patients in Mumbai from 706 to 1,376.

Although the number of patients is increasing day by day, the number of patients who need to be hospitalized is less. Corona rules need to be followed as a precaution. If symptoms are noticed, prioritize diagnosis, isolation, and treatment. Currently, we have to wait till January 15 to analyze the status of the infection. Then the third wave can be analyzed accurately and scientifically. - Dr. Avinash Supe, State Corona Task Force
