After a month of confinement, Maha has 6 more districts in red
While 21 states reported an improvement in the number of cases in one or more districts at the end of the 30-day blockade, most in Maharashtra went backwards, from green to orange or orange to red, under the Central coding system, rating thus for a greater hardening of the measures.
On April 15, there were 11 districts in Maharashtra in the red zone: these are the critical points; 18 in the orange zone: these are not critical points, but with cases; and 7 in the green zone, without cases. By April 24, the situation had worsened: Maharashtra had 17 districts in the red zone, 16 in the orange zone and three in the green zone.
Maharashtra crosses 8,000 cases just one day after the 7,000 mark
When registering 440 new cases, the state’s Covid-19 meter crossed the 8,000 mark on Sunday and the needle stopped at 8,068 cases. Just a day earlier, the state’s count had passed the 7,000 mark to settle at 7,628 after the detection of 811 new cases, the highest in a single day anywhere in the country.
For the first time, the total number of new coronavirus infections in the state traveled between two thousand markers, 7,000 and 8,000, in just one day. The 6,000 mark and 5,000 mark had arrived in two days, and the previous 1,000 jumps had arrived in four and six days. Covid-19 lost another 19 lives on Sunday, bringing the state’s death toll to 342.
Scattered migrant evacuation plans become an organized effort
Scattered initiatives to evacuate stranded migrant workers, students and pilgrims across the country on Sunday were joined in a more coordinated action plan initiated by states like Odisha, Maharashtra and Gujarat, even as Karnataka expressed reluctance to enter directly, noting the “risk” will immediately bring back people trapped in the Covid endemic states as a “national problem”.
While Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik engaged with her counterparts Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra and Vijay Rupani in Gujarat to develop a “safe and dignified exit plan” for migrant workers from her state, Karnataka said she would temporarily limit herself to evacuating a batch of 272 students trapped in Rajasthan Kota.

Covid-19 infections in Delhi showed a huge increase on Sunday, when the city reported 293 new cases after more than 10 days of relatively low numbers, even when the worst affected state, Maharashtra, recorded a drop of almost 50% in new cases Saturday’s record numbers.
This was Delhi’s second highest new case count in a single day (after 356 on April 13) and almost three times higher than the average number of daily cases in the past week, which was 105. More concerning, While the previous spike was caused by the outbreak linked to Tablighi Jamaat congregations, the new increase shows a sudden increase in local cases in the fifth week of closure.
