Mumbai heads for highest number of daily new Covid-19 cases for any city in the world

Since the middle of May, Mumbai has had more cases than New York City, where the pandemic's first wave is now beginning to recede. At its peak, on April 6, New York City recorded 6,504 cases, which is over three times than Mumbai's case count on May 22 - its highest so far. Since the beginning of May, Mumbai's case count has more than tripled. New York City is just three-quarters the size of Mumbai in terms of population.
