One of the most crowded slums of Thane, Mumbra, is leading by example. On Saturday, it recorded zero active <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/articles/indias-covid-19-tally-crosses-30-lakh-mark-69000-cases-registered/22949208" target="_blank">COVID-19</a> cases. It may not come as a surprise considering the number of active cases in the area was constantly coming down.
In this month, except for August 14, the locality reported cases below 12, reports <a href="https://mumbaimirror.indiatimes.com/coronavirus/news/mumbra-leads-the-way-once-again-records-zero-covid-19-cases-active-patients-in-thane-city-below-2000/articleshow/77700759.cms" target="_blank">Mumbai Mirror</a>.
Amid the worsening situation of the state and rising number of cases, this news is definitely a breath of relief.
Cabinet Minister Jitendra Awhad lauded the people of Mumbra through twitter for achieving this exceptional feat. "With 0 patients in Mumbra #mumbrapattern sets an example again,&rdquo; he wrote.
