On June 23, the city had witnessed the highest single-day peak of 3,947 cases, but the number has come down steadily since then despite the number of tests increasing.

Currently, 4,309 beds are occupied in the hospitals out of a total capacity of 15,253 beds, 2,148 in the dedicated Covid Care Centres out of 9,217 and 144 beds in the dedicated Covid Health Centres as against the availability of 544 total beds. Over 11,170 people are under home isolation.
