Shawdesh Desk:

A 64-year-old coronavirus patient died at Mumbai’s Kasturba hospital on Tuesday, India’s third reported death linked to Covid-19 disease.

The patient was among the 36 confirmed coronavirus cases in Maharashtra.

This is Maharashtra’s first coronavirus death.

Delhi reported its first death from novel coronavirus the next day when a 68-year-old woman from Janakpuri, admitted to Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital, succumbed to the virus. She was the mother of a confirmed case of Covid-19.

India’s first confirmed coronavirus-linked death was reported on Tuesday last when a 76-year-old man from Karnataka’s Kalburgi died while being transported from one hospital to another.

That he had tested positive to Covid-19 was confirmed only two days later on Thursday.

The 63-year-old doctor is among the two new cases of Covid-19 in the southern state, which now has 10 people who have tested positive.

India has 129 cases of coronavirus and has reported three deaths so far. A total of 13 patients in the country have recovered successfully.
