Mumbai, which is among the worst-hit cities in India, had reported 2,982 new infections on Saturday. This was slightly lower than the 3,062 Covid-19 infections logged on Friday, the highest so far.
In a statement on Saturday, the civic body said that it was necessary to speed up the coronavirus vaccination process. “In this regard, the government has made arrangements to vaccinate senior citizens above 60 years of age and those with co-morbidities in the age group of 45-59 years,” it said. “Citizens in the above-mentioned age groups are thereby appealed to register successfully on the Co-WIN portal and visit their nearest vaccination centre to get vaccinated without waiting for the date of the scheduled appointment.”
