The Kalina University is opening up a Covid-19 isolation centre within its premises. The centre will be housed in the eight-storey International Students Hostel building.

There is an inauguration slated for tomorrow, after which the facility will be operational for the public from Friday, July 9. The centre is an isolation hub for the underprivileged section of the society. It is not just for students but all underprivileged people who have tested Covid-19 positive and do not have the space or the means to isolate at home. When there is a space crunch, which is common in Mumbai, the entire family is in danger of being affected because of transmission, so the underprivileged need isolation options. The initiative is an association between Ashia-Hope for Life, a one-year-old non-profit, and the MCGM.
