Andheri East and West, Parel, Bhandup are also among the top five areas with active patients. These five wards collectively have one-third of the total patients of the city. As per the count of active patients on July 1, P North ward (Malad) has 2,816 positive cases.

While it is clear that COVID-19's centre has shifted to the Western and Eastern suburbs from southern Mumbai, many wards like G North, L and N have the most cases due to cumulative numbers.
