Pune district registered 10,907 new COVID-19 cases, 62 deaths and 7,832 recoveries yesterday.

As Maharashtra is witnessing a continuous surge in COVID-19 cases, he said: “We are continuously trying to increase the number of beds. The number of beds is sufficient in the current situation but if it goes on like this, then there will be a shortage. We are making more efforts for procuring ventilator beds.” On Wednesday, Maharashtra reported 59,907 new COVID-19 cases and 322 deaths.
