Three jumbo Covid-19 centres, which are supposed to be ready for use before the third wave kicks in, are still in various stages of construction. The Malad Jumbo Centre was handed over to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) a month-and-a-half ago, and work related to oxygen supply and fire compliances is still on. The other two centres at Kanjurmarg and Sion are still under construction. The Malad and Kanjurmarg centres will have 2,200 beds each and the Sion one will have 1,200.

In the first phase, the BKC Covid Centre, Goregaon Nesco Covid Centre, Worli NSCI Complex, Mulund Richardson and Cruddas, Byculla Richardson and Cruddas and Dahisar Jumbo Covid Centre were made operational with more than 7,000 beds. They proved to be extremely essential in fighting the second wave of the pandemic.
