Mumbai/IBNS: Maharashtra on Wednesday reported a whopping 920 deaths, the highest-ever single-day fatality count due to Covid since the pandemic outbreak.

During the same period, more than 57,000 new cases were logged taking the active cases in the state to  6.41 lakhs.

Mumbai reported 3,879 new cases and 77 deaths while Pune logged 9,084 cases and 93 deaths.

The figures come on a day when the Supreme Court lauded Maharashtra's handling of the second wave of infections.

The apex court in fact recommended that the centre take notes from the "Mumbai model" to try and ensure oxygen supplies to Delhi.

Earlier on Tuesday, Health Minister Rajesh Tope informed that fifteen districts in Maharashtra are showing a dip in Covid caseload.

However, after a dip for two consecutive days, Mumbai's daily infections rose by over 1,300, while daily fatalities went up by 15.
