As of May 17, 2020, the list of containment zones in Mumbai have also reduced to 674. The report released by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation shows a 75 per cent reduction in the number of containment zones, as officials have revised the list. Earlier, chawls and buildings were mentioned in the containment zones, but as per new guidelines, officials are including only areas which will be managed by the MLAs and BMC officials. Chawls and building need to be maintained by respective members and if needed, BMC would help in screening members in hotspots.
Despite the number of red zones reducing in Mumbai, Maharashtra government has extended the lockdown until May 31, 2020, keeping the increasing cases in mind. Following the directives from the Ministry of Home Affairs, guidelines will have to be followed for safety during the lockdown.
