Mumbai is opening up a new front in the Coronavirus war. Civic authorities have zeroed in on the National Sports Club of India (NSCI) as a quarantine centre for suspect COVID-19 cases. The club's massive The Dome space in the Vallabhbhai Patel (VP) stadium adjacent to it, was transformed into a quarantine centre on Wednesday.
