Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Second COVID-related death was reported in Madhya Pradesh’s Khargone district, where a nine-month pregnant woman tragically passed away during her delivery at a hospital in Indore.

However, the Indore district health department stated that the primary cause of death was complications during the C-section, not the coronavirus infection.
