Kasturba Hospital—the first hospital in the city that dealt with Covid-19 cases—is now free of Covid cases, for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, with the last patient discharged at the end of February. 

When the pandemic started in Mumbai in January 2020, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation had decided to isolate all passengers arriving from abroad as well as suspected cases in Kasturba Hospital—the only infectious diseases hospital in the city. The hospital administration would then decide on further course of action based on RT-PCR reports.
