COVID-19 cases in the city are steady at over 3,000 per day, but the low number of tests is a cause of worry for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). So much, that the civic commissioner, Iqbal Singh Chahal, has appealed to citizens to ensure that tests continue in the city. The number of tests done on Sunday was barely 28,000. If Mumbaikars want to see an end to the pandemic, getting tested is their simple and most effective weapon, he said.
