The cases of coronavirus have been increasing at an alarming pace in the state. The second wave has had a major impact on the state.
Maharashtra on Sunday, April 11, reported the highest single-day jump in COVID-19 cases, breaching the 60,000-mark. The state recorded 63,294 new coronavirus cases pushing the caseload to 34,07,245, the health department said.
As many as 349 COVID-19 patients died in the state in the last 24 hours. This took the state's toll to 57,987. The case-fatality ratio stands at 1.7 per cent in the state.
Meanwhile, Mumbai reported 9,989 cases and 58 deaths, which took its caseload to 5,20,214 and death toll to 12,017. The Municipal Corporation (BMC) has sealed more than 700 buildings in Mumbai.
Here's a list of sealed building in Ward A that comprises of Churchgate, Colaba and Navy Nagar, Ward B which includes Masjid Bunder, Mohd. Ali Road, Dongri and Bhendi Bazar and Ward C that includes Pydhonie and Bhuleshwar. This list was last updated on April 5, 2021
According to the BMC’s policy, if one or more COVID-19 patients are found in a building, then the entire floor is sealed. While if more than five patients are found infected, the building is sealed by the Municipal Corporation.
However, if the building is small, the Municipal Corporation has no problem in sealing the entire building. But when there are many buildings or wings in the complex, it becomes a problem for other residents.
To avoid any inconvenience to other residents, the Municipal Corporation has adopted a policy of sealing the floors or the entire wing of the building instead of completely sealing the building. Besides, the authority to seal the building has been given to local authorities.
