Of the 24 wards in the city, Borivli is the only one with more than 1,000 active COVID-19 cases. The civic body has urged people to follow quarantine and social distancing norms, with an emphasis on early hospitalisation of senior and co-morbid patients as 80 per cent of the cases are from buildings.

The number of active patients across the city is below 20,000. Areas like Andheri-Vile Parle, Malad, Dadar-Dharavi, Bhandup have had the most number of cumulative cases since March but the doubling rate has decreased over time and the number of active cases in each is less than 1,000. Even Malad — which was reporting a large number of cases from both, slums and buildings in July has only 673 active patients.
