The BMC is considering closing down some of the COVID Care Centres (CCC) where the occupancy is low to save money and manpower, and has directed the ward officials to review the current usage of these facilities. Meanwhile, the civic body plans to send the high-risk and mild symptomatic patients to the five jumbo quarantine centres.

As COVID-19 hit the city, the BMC took over private places like hotels, schools and colleges, marriage halls and set up centres for quarantine - CCC1 for high-risk contacts of patients and CCC2 for asymptomatic positive patients and those with mild symptoms.
