25 new Covid cases in city; state reports 112 patients
Health officials said all the patients had mild flu-like symptoms.
Until earlier this month, the city accounted for most of the state's cases on a daily basis.
However, the trend has started to shift since late last week, with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) reporting either nearly equal or more Covid-19 cases daily.
On Thursday, the PMC recorded 48 cases.
Since the surge in cases began in mid-May, there have been 21 deaths, four of which occurred in Mumbai — all patients with severe comorbidities. Doctors said most of the deceased patients were elderly.
A few patients are admitted at Seven Hills Hospital, where the BMC has created a separate Covid ward. All patients there are elderly and stable.
Similarly, KDMC commissioner Abhinav Goyal told reporters that as part of Covid-19 preparedness, 10 isolation beds have been kept ready at Bai Rukmini Bai Hospital and five at Shastri Nagar Hospital. TNN

No link between Covid vaccines and sudden deaths: Ex-AIIMS chief Randeep Guleria
Former AIIMS-Delhi Director Dr. Randeep Guleria remarked on the ongoing concerns of Covid-19 vaccines linked with sudden deaths. He said taht the studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences clearly show that the young deaths reported are not related to Covid-19 vaccines."Covid-19 vaccines do have some side effects, all vaccines or drugs have some side effects, but the link between vaccination and heart attacks is not there. None of the studies have shown that. One of causes of the heart attacks is due to genetic background, lifestyle, lack of physical activity and a diet more in fat and increasing obesity, with more desk jobs. All this is predisposed to cause heart attacks in young people. There's no link between the Covid-19 vaccines and the sudden heart attack deaths," Dr. Guleria told news agency ICMR and AIIMS have conducted comprehensive studies confirming that Covid-19 vaccines are not associated with sudden deaths due to heart attacks among young adults, especially after the Union Health Ministry stressed the safety of vaccines, contradicting claims of linking vaccines to cardiac fatalities. The studies, carried out across 47 hospitals in 19 states, focused on unexplained sudden deaths among adults aged 18 to 45. Findings indicate that lifestyle, genetic factors, and pre-existing conditions are most likely the contributors to such statement came after Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah suggested potential links between Covid vaccines and the rise in heart-related deaths. However, the Union Health Ministry denied any connection, highlighting the scientific evidence supporting vaccine studies support the importance of understanding the broader health context rather than attributing these incidents to vaccines further address these concerns, a multi-centre study was initiated to investigate the sudden deaths of seemingly healthy showed no increase in sudden death risk due to Covid-19 vaccination, aligning with earlier findings by ICMR and makers of Covishield, the Serum Institute of India, also reinforced the safety of their vaccines, stating, "The vaccines are safe and scientifically validated," in response to the ICMR and AIIMS studies.- EndsMust Watch
