Dharavi is one of the most vulnerable COVID-19 hotspots in Mumbai and the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is taking all the measures to curb the spread of coronavirus in the slum area. However, the situation in Dharavi is dire. There were 57 new cases recorded on Monday. With this the total number of COVID-19 patients reported from Dharavi has reached 916.
The G-North ward, which consists of Dharavi, Mahim and Dadar (West), has already recorded over 1,000 cases. G-North is one of the worst-affected wards in Mumbai as it has one of the highest tallies in a single ward in Mumbai. As of now, the BMC has stopped issuing ward-wise data of COVID-19 cases, citing technical reasons.
The spike in the number of cases in a day comes after a relatively better phase, with about 20-odd cases per day reported over the past three days. Dharavi has recorded 29 deaths so far.
The new cases in Dharavi were reported from the following areas:
Chogle Chawl, Dharavi Main Road, 90 Feet Road, Abu Bakr Chawl, Dharavi Cross Road, Dhobi Ghat, New Municipal Chawl, Matunga Labour Camp, Gautam Chawl, Muslim Nagar, Shastri Nagar, Subodh Chawl, PMGP Colony, Nehru Chawl, Dhorwada, Kuttiwadi, Pranay Apartment, Tuljabai Chawl, Transit Camp, Social Nagar, Indira Nagar, Anna Nagar, Kunte Nagar, Holi Maidan, Sakinabai Chawl, Mahatma Gandhi Society, Ashok Mill Compound, Miraj Compound, Sherwadi, Siddharth Chawl, Shivshakti Nagar, Dr. Baliga Nagar.
