The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation did not have to conduct rigorous contact tracing like it did two months back, all thanks to the public who are now much more aware and are willingly coming forward to get tested for COVID-19, said officials. The civic body set up 244 COVID-19 testing centres across the city and people are making use of them. With contact tracing down, the civic officials said they are now focusing on mass testing of delivery men, waiters, hawkers, etc, who come in contact with several people daily.

Public cautious
A civic official, requesting anonymity, said, "The high-risk contacts now themselves want to be cautious and visit the centres to get tested. It's not like before when we were tracing contacts
rigorously because the daily cases have dropped in the past few months. However, this has not made us complacent, as we have now moved towards testing the daily wage earners and the labour class along with delivery men, grocery storekeepers, hawkers, waiters and others who meet people daily."
