Nagpur has reported two COVID-19-related deaths, as per Maharashtra’s health bulletin on June 14, highlighting renewed concerns for high-risk patients despite low case numbers.
The deceased—both men—were battling severe health conditions. A 56-year-old suffered from diabetes and hypertension, while a 32-year-old was undergoing treatment for advanced blood cancer and anemia. Both tested positive on June 12 and tragically passed away earlier in the week. Their deaths were the only COVID fatalities reported in Maharashtra that day.
On the same day, the state recorded 53 new COVID cases. Mumbai led with 24 infections, followed by Pune city (11), Thane (5), Pimpri-Chinchwad (3), Pune district (2), Sangli district and city (2 each), and one case each in Navi Mumbai and Raigad.
Nagpur currently has five active cases, all mild and under treatment. The total active COVID count in Maharashtra stands at 578.
In response, the State Public Health Department has reassured citizens. Surveillance of Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infections (SARI) is ongoing to detect cases early.
“Most patients show only mild symptoms and are recovering well,” an official stated. Testing and treatment continue to be available at government facilities.
Bottom line: Stay cautious, follow safety protocols — but there’s no need to panic.
