MUMBAI, May 7 -- Mumbai has become the first Indian city to surpass the 10,000 cases mark of COVID-19 with the detection of 769 fresh cases Wednesday , said an update by the city civic authority late Wednesday. The total number of positive cases in India's financial capital stood at 10,527 with 412 deaths so far, including 25 deaths on Wednesday, the update by BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said. Out of the total cases reported so far, the city's mortality rate is 3.9 percent, which is higher than India's average rate of 3.43 percent but lower than the world rate of 6.92 percent. Mumbai's recovery rate of patients from COVID-19 is also lower at 21 percent compared to the national average of 28 percent. Considering the rise in the number of cases, BMC is planning to set up more Corona Care Centres (CCCs) in the next two weeks days that will enhance the capacity to 34,000 beds from the current 14,000 beds. The critical bed capacity in various civic run hospitals have also been enhanced to 4,750 beds from 3,000 beds, the update said. Earlier, reports said the city is on verge of an unprecedented public health emergency, as intensive care unit facilities at almost all public and private hospitals are exhausted, and the system is short of nearly 400 doctors and healthcare professionals in this alarmingly grim situation. The cause of concern for Mumbai city, which houses Asia's largest slum, is the higher positivity rate among the total tests conducted among COVID-19 patients at around 10 percent compared with India's average of 3 percent. In other words, Mumbai has so far conducted 100,000 tests so far and 10,000 cases have turned positive. The Dharavi slum in Mumbai has so far reported 733 positive cases with 21 deaths so far. As per the official update on Thursday morning, India has 35,902 active cases of novel coronavirus with 1,783 dead so far. Xinhua
