As per 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.
Accordingly, the BMC has sealed more than 700 buildings in Mumbai. Here is the list of completely and partially sealed buildings in M/West (MW) ward of the municipal corporation:
This list was published on April 5, 2021, and the names of some of the buildings may have been omitted or new names may have been added accordingly.
