Even as the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is trying hard to stop COVID-19 from spreading in Asia's largest slum, Dharavi, the detection of a suspected patient in another slum pocket, Behrampada, is posing a new challenge.
Person had been to Markaz
The number of COVID-19 patients has risen to seven in Dharavi. A symptomatic patient was reported in Behrampada, a large slum pocket on the East side of Bandra railway station. The over 60-year-old man had gone to the Markaz in Delhi. The BMC has appealed to citizens to report if anyone had participated in the Tablighi Jamaat congregation, but no one has come forward.
