Maharashtra crossed the 35,000 mark of positive COVID-19 cases on Monday with Mumbai recording 1,185 new cases. Making yet another amendment in its guidelines, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) revised a protocol that mentions if a positive case is reported from a building, the entire premises won't be sealed, but just the floor where the positive patient resides.

Earlier, the entire building used to be disinfected and all residents were home-quarantined for 14 days. However, the revised guidelines also states that a symptomatic positive patient has to be shifted to a facility where medical help is available while an asymptomatic person can be home-quarantined.
