With more than 100 daily cases reported on just four days over the past one month, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) finally seems to have flattened the COVID-19 curve. The city has managed to keep the recovery rate above 96 per cent and currently only 1.78 per cent patients are undergoing treatment for the infection.

The NMMC was hit hard by the pandemic with about 500 cases being reported daily around mid-August last year. As the civic officials worked hard to break the transmission chain, the daily count dropped gradually and post Diwali, it fell to under 150 daily cases.
