Within 24 hours of the P North assistant municipal commissioner approaching the Mumbai police to trace 59 COVID-19 patients who went missing, the cops found 44 of them. While most patients had got admitted to private hospitals after undergoing tests, some were admitted by BMC itself, and yet their names were on the missing list.

Every ward office receives a list of active COVID-19 cases in the area on a daily basis, after which they reach the patients' homes and make appropriate arrangements for their treatment based on their health condition.
