While about 1, 14,000 people have been cured of this disease. More than 7,500 people have died due to this disease till now. The Death Review Committee has analyzed 5,200 deaths, of which 31 percent of patients died just within 24 hours of hospitalization.
About 59 per cent of the patients die within 4 days after hospitalization.
“Somewhere there is some delay in patients reaching hospitals for treatment. Also, some patient’s health gets deteriorated due to hiding the disease which result in death just within sometime after the patient gets admitted to the hospital”, said Dr. Om Srivastava, a member of the Covid Task Force
Dr. Avinash Supe, Head of the Death Committee, said, “Patients should contact the doctor without any hesitation or neglecting their health condition. Negligence may cause delay in identifying the disease Corona due to which the treatment gets delayed and which cause of immediate death. In such a situation, both the administration and the citizens have to play their role to fill this gap. Anyway, the death toll in Mumbai is reduced than before. The patient can be saved with the help of timely investigation and immediate treatment.”
