After a lot of confusion over the procedure to deal with containment zones, the BMC has finally come up with a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). It mentions that as per the cluster containment policy of the central government, there is no need to seal the whole complex if a COVID-19 positive patient has been found in one building.

However, nothing has been said about containment areas in slums and chawls. The BMC further said that at least one containment official and cops will be part of the team deployed near sealed buildings and residents will get groceries and medicines delivered at their homes.
