With Covid-19 cases showing a declining trend in the city, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has decided to start elective surgeries in all the corporation-run hospitals.

“We have asked all BMC-run hospitals to resume planned surgeries. There has been a drop in the number of cases over the last month due to which beds were lying vacant at these hospitals. These can now be used for non-Covid patients,” said Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commissioner, BMC.
