NEW DELHI: After Maharashtra, Delhi has maximum active cases of Covid-19.
According to the data shared by states, while Maharashtra has 39,935 active cases, the corresponding figure for Delhi is 14,456. It is much higher than the number of active cases in Tamil Nadu (12,135) and Gujarat (4,779), two other states that are most affected by the Covid-19 crisis.
The spike in active cases in the national capital, officials said, has been caused due to sudden increase in new cases.
Delhi’s daily count of Covid-19 crossed the 1,000 mark for the first time on May 28 when 1,024 new cases were reported. Since then, the numbers have been going up daily – except on June 1 when only 990 new cases were reported.
On Thursday, the city reported 1,359 new cases of Covid-19 taking the state’s total tally to above 25,000 mark to reach 25,004.
