Even as active cases in three civic wards are over 100, the number of sealed buildings, floors and containment zones (CZ) is zero. The L ward, that includes Kurla, the H East ward which comprises Bandra and Santacruz East, and the G north ward, with Dharavi, Dadar and Mahim, have a scattered spread of Covid, because of which there are zero sealed structures and areas.

Incidentally, all three wards have a number of slum clusters and Covid management in the wards was a huge task for the civic administration during the first wave. The focus back then was controlling the spread and isolating slum-dwellers. But the city has been witnessing zero CZs in slums for the past month and a half. With the civic body continuing its wait and watch, wards in the city are taking their own measures to ensure the spread is curbed, said officials.
