With the addition of 413 coronavirus positive cases, the infection count in the Thane district of Maharashtra mounted to 5,23,970, an official said on Saturday.

These cases were reported on Friday, he said.

As the virus claimed the lives of 42 patients during the day, the death toll in the district rose to 10,180. Thane's COVID-19 mortality rate is 1.94 per cent now, he added.

The caseload in neighbouring Palghar district has gone up to 1,13,136, while the number of deceased has increased to 2,358, another official said.

Meanwhile, the Maharashtra government on Friday added 2,213 deaths to overall COVID-19 death toll in the state, taking it to 1,06,367, after a "scrutiny of laboratory reports for COVID-19 determination" and resultant updating of figures.

During the day, the state reported 406 new deaths and 11,766 infections.

Compared to Thursday, the death count thus went up by 2,619.

The state's caseload rose to 58,87,853, the health department said.

Earlier in the day, the state health department had said that between May 26 to June 10 this year, a total of 8,074 COVID-19 deaths took place. This was a revised figure, it said, without disclosing the earlier estimate. As the number of cases was high in April and May, there was more burden on the government machinery which in some cases led to the delayed recording of data, it said.

With 8,104 people discharged, the tally of recovered patients reached 56,16,857.

The number of active cases stood at 1,61,704.

The recovery rate stood at 95.4 per cent while the fatality rate was 1.81 per cent.
