Mumbai: The daily Covid graph in Mumbai was worried about 43 days high on Wednesday, with BMC registering 415 cases.
In most days in the past five weeks, the daily calculation was below 300.
It was last more than 400 (430) on July 20 and dropped to its lowest in the last few days to 196 on August 17.

Across the country, the daily calculation rose to 4.456 after three days experiencing a decrease in trends.
183 Fatality was reported in the state on Wednesday, where four were in Mumbai.
With this, the total death rose to 1,37,496 in the state and 15,981 in Mumbai.
“Even though everyday case crosses 400, the number of tests is appropriate at 41,929,” Kakani said.
In other words, the front rate of the daily test remains below 1%.
Dr Shashank Joshi, a member of the State Task Force in Covid-19, said the increasing trend was most likely the result of the opening which began on August 15.
There is a need to make sure the cases don’t rise sharply as they did the second wave starting in February-March and past 11,000 in one day.
There are eight districts that have higher levels of participants than the country’s average.
