Out of these, 11 deaths were recorded in Mumbai, 5 in Pune and 2 in Malegaon.

The mortality rate in the state due to COVID-19 is 4.4% currently. On analysing 269 deaths in the state, mortality rate among patients below 50 years old is comparatively less. It is 0.64% in the age group 21-30 years and it rises with increasing age beyond this age group. It is highest (17.78%) in the age-group 61-70 years. This underpins the increased possibility of complications in patients above 50 years of age and with high-risk comorbidities.
