1,728 fresh Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra

Maharashtra on Saturday reported 1,728 Covid-19 cases, lower than the actual rise, due to a technical glitch in the ICMR (Indian Council of Medical Research) portal, and four fatalities, the state health department said. 

A day earlier, the state had reported 4,205 Covid-19 cases after breaching the 5,000-mark on



Thursday.

“Today, due to a technical glitch in the ICMR portal, the entire daily data of Covid-19 cases cannot be downloaded. So, the state has recorded 1,728 cases today, lower than the actual (number). Remaining data will be added as soon as the portal starts functioning normally," the department said in a bulletin.
