Maharashtra Reports Two Covid-19 Deaths in 2025, 106 Cases Recorded This Year,Govt Urges Citizens not to Panic

Maharashtra reported two Covid-19-linked deaths since January, alongside a rise in cases, with 106 infections recorded out of 6,066 tests conducted this year. Mumbai alone accounts for 101 of these cases, with 52 patients currently under treatment—16 hospitalized with mild symptoms. Both deaths, which occurred in Mumbai, involved patients with comorbidities, according to the state health department. The government has urged citizens not to panic, emphasizing that the situation is under control and that daily testing through ILI and SARI surveys is being intensified to monitor the spread.

The health department also noted that the spike in Covid-19 cases isn’t isolated to Maharashtra but is part of a broader trend affecting other Indian states like Kerala and Tamil Nadu, as well as other countries. Nationally, India has logged 257 active cases as of May 19, with 164 new infections reported between May 12 and 19, predominantly in Kerala (95 cases), Tamil Nadu (66), and Maharashtra (56). This resurgence has raised concerns, but the Union Health Ministry clarified that no direct virus-related deaths have been recorded, suggesting the Maharashtra deaths were likely exacerbated by underlying health conditions.

Public sentiment on X reflects a mix of concern and skepticism, with some users highlighting the rise in Mumbai’s active cases and others questioning the severity of the outbreak given the patients’ comorbidities. Health officials are focusing on containment and monitoring rather than alarm, aligning with their message of caution without panic. However, the simultaneous global uptick in cases warrants vigilance, as the virus continues to evolve—potentially driven by variants like JN.1, though specific strain data for this wave remains unconfirmed in the available information.
