A sudden drop in temperature last week in some parts of Maharashtra may have caused a spike in COVID-19 cases, a senior health official said on Friday. Temperatures in east Vidarbha started dipping due to moisture coming from the Bay of Bengal and this may have ”helped the virus to spread with more speed,” he claimed.
Akola, Amravati, Yavatmal, Buldana, Wardha and Nagpur are the six districts (in Vidarbha) that have reported a steady rise in coronavirus figures.
