Maharashtra's&nbsp;Covid-19 death toll has increased by 8,800 and reached 1.08 lakhs&nbsp;after the state carried out a reconciliation exercise&nbsp;in the past 12 days to reflect delayed numbers.&nbsp;

Britain on Tuesday reported zero coronavirus-related deaths for the first time since July last year.&nbsp;Tuesday's zero daily deaths came after the government reported just one Covid death across the UK on Monday.
The last time that no Covid deaths were recorded throughout the United Kingdom was on July 30.
The scientists and experts have continued to urge caution over a complete easing of lockdown restrictions amid a spike in Covid infections.
Professor Ravi Gupta, an Indian-origin scientist from Cambridge University, said although new cases were "relatively low" the B.1.617 variant of the Covid-19 had fuelled "exponential growth", the BBC reported.. He advised a few weeks&rsquo; delay to the June 21 date to reopen the country to allow the vaccination programme to catch up with the highly transmissible variant of Covid-19. The country has seen over 3,000 daily infections for a week, which has led the scientists to warn that the UK may be in the early stages of the third wave.

Since the beginning of May, 66,866 people have died due to the coronavirus. However, it has been 12 days on May 17 that the cases have been on a decline....


Quixplained: Why are Covid-19 deaths expected to rise in India

Since the beginning of May, 66,866 people have died due to the coronavirus. However, it has been 12 days on May 17 that the cases have been on a decline.
Just on Tuesday, India recorded 4,329 fresh fatalities, while the single-day rise in cases is the lowest in 28 days. There is a disparity in numbers between the caseload and the deaths. This is because the death curve usually has a two-week lag. States report deaths from a few days to weeks earlier.
For example, Maharashtra recorded 1,019 deaths on Monday. However, 289 of these occurred between Saturday and Monday while 277 are from a week before that. Similarly, Karnataka reported 476 deaths. A few of these occurred in March while several are from April.
Apart from the administrative lag, deaths among covid patients have also been assessed to be caused by other ailments and hence not added to the covid data.
There is also the issue of underreporting. According to the Madhya Pradesh government there were 104 covid deaths in the state capital in the month of April. However, data from just three crematoriums and one graveyard in Bhopal show 2,567 bodies were cremated or buried following covid protocols from April 1-30.
April was the worst month in terms of infections reported but its impact on the mortality data can be felt now. The administrative lag amongst other factors is suggestive of an increase in the death count even if the cases drop in the near future.

Just on Tuesday, India recorded 4,329 fresh fatalities, while the single-day rise in cases is the lowest in 28 days. There is a disparity in numbers between the caseload and the deaths. This is because the death curve usually has a two-week lag. States report deaths from a few days to weeks earlier.

For example, Maharashtra recorded 1,019 deaths on Monday. However, 289 of these occurred between Saturday and Monday while 277 are from a week before that. Similarly, Karnataka reported 476 deaths. A few of these occurred in March while several are from April.
Apart from the administrative lag,<a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/compensation-guidelines-for-covid-19-deaths-how-to-apply-1633361633221" target="_blank"> deaths among covid</a> patients have also been assessed to be caused by other ailments and hence not added to the covid data.

There is also the issue of underreporting. According to the Madhya Pradesh government there were 109&nbsp;<a href="https://www.editorji.com/india-news/compensation-guidelines-for-covid-19-deaths-how-to-apply-1633361633221" target="_blank">covid-19 deaths</a> in the state capital in the month of April. However, data from just three crematoriums and one graveyard in Bhopal show 2,567 bodies were cremated or buried following covid protocols from April 1-30.
April was the worst month in terms of infections reported but its impact on the mortality data can be felt now. The administrative lag amongst other factors is suggestive of an increase in the death count even if the cases drop in the near future.
