Since April 6 there has not been a single day that saw less than 600 Covid-19 deaths. On the other hand, deaths have also steadily increased to cross the 2700 markState-wise analysis of data shows the pattern is largely the same as on Friday. Maharashtra is leading the states with 67,160 fresh cases while UP is the second-worst with 38,055 cases on Saturday.
