With the lifting of some of the lockdown restrictions, the trend of COVID-19 cases in the city seems to be shifting again. While initially, the cases had first come up in residential buildings and then moved on to slums, ward officials say that over the past week, they have seen a spike in cases in housing societies again.

In L ward for instance, which has the third-highest number of cases, Assistant Municipal Commissioner Manish Valanju said, "Earlier, there were 80-100 cases from slum pockets and now there are 40-60. Over the past week, the Sangharsh Nagar area, which had no cases earlier, recorded 30 cases and HDIL (Kohinoor city), which had one or two cases, now has around 25 cases," he said.
