The city also recorded 367 new cases, while 518 fully recovered patients went home on Sunday.
Presently, 5,030 active cases still remain in the city as the health authorities heave a sigh of relief.
Covid-19 scarred the country's commercial capital considerably with 751,293 total infections till date and 16,180 deaths, the highest in the country.
Presently, the city's doubling rate has increased to 1,214 days, with a recovery rate as high as 97 percent now.
With no containment zones in the city's chawls or slums, only 50 buildings remain under seal now, a huge improvement over the tense days in the first and second waves of Covid when these figures ran into thousands.
The news has spread cheers across the city. Mumbaikars are taking to social media to celebrate the achievement. However, people are still encouraging others to keep their masks on and maintain social distancing in order to keep the threat of Coronavirus at bay.
