Bengaluru reported 8,155 cases, Chennai 2,564, their highest daily surge on Wednesday. Pune’s highest single-day spike since the pandemic began was 12,494 cases, which was recorded on April 4.

Delhi reported 17,282 new COVID-19 cases 19 on Wednesday, the highest single-day spike in Delhi since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. More than 100 fatalities were reported, as per data from the health department.

Thus, Delhi has surpassed Mumbai in the daily cases by a huge margin.
