As the second wave of COVID-19 grips the city, the situation seems to be getting grimmer in the maximum city. With the rapidly growing cases, the growth rate of coronavirus infections has jumped to over 1 per cent in 23 of the 24 administrative wards in the city with two of wards recording a growth rate of 2 per cent.
Meanwhile, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has sealed more than 700 buildings. Here’s the list of K (west) ward that comprises Andheri, Jogeshwari, Juhu, Vile Parle, Versova etc:
According to the BMC’s rule, 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.
