The much-hyped Jumbo COVID-19 Care Centres, for which the civic body is paying high rent to private entities, have an extremely low occupancy rate as compared to the private and public hospitals. Around 83 per cent of the city's total active COVID-19 patients are admitted at the private and public institutions.

There are a total of 16,066 COVID beds in the city, out of which 8,466 are currently occupied and most of those are at public and private hospitals. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had set up five jumbo facilities, located at Mahalaxmi, BKC, Mulund, Dahisar and Goregaon.
