In four to five wards, a large part of the covid cases is emerging from high-rise buildings. According to certain reports, the BMC attributes it to the fact that the residents not just partake in social events, but also travel to tourist spots.
Mumbai reported 362 new cases on Sunday, with the total number now at 7,34,118. Additionally, the daily detection undertaken has diminished to below 500 since the last ten days, in the city.
On the flip side, the authorities also state that slums amongst the other heavily populous regions, are barely giving their fair share to new cases. Suresh Kakani, the Additional Municipal Commissioner, is said to have mentioned that K-West, H-West, S, and R-Central wards are significant leaders in new cases.
