Mumbai: A health official said that the number of coronavirus cases in Maharashtra rose from 33 to 335 on Wednesday.
He said that thirty of these cases were found in Mumbai alone, two in Pune and one in Buldhana.
The state had reported 302 COVID-19 cases on Tuesday.
Health Minister Rajesh Tope said earlier in the day that the number of cases would increase further as there were about 5,000 persons in the “high-risk” category.
Relatives or close friends of these people tested positive for COVID-19 (it is likely that they may have caught the infection as well), he said.
