33 new coronavirus cases in Maharashtra, count 335

Thirty of these cases were found in Mumbai alone, two in Pune and one in Buldhana, he said.

The state had reported 302 COVID-19 cases on Tuesday.

Health Minister Rajesh Tope had said earlier in the day that the number of cases would increase further because there were around 5,000 persons in "high-risk" category.

Relatives or close friends of these people had tested positive for COVID-19 (making it likely that they might have caught the infection too), he said.
