In view of managing the second wave of infections, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has decided to set up COVID care centres at schools and hostels, and increase its bed capacity by over 3,000 in the process. The corporation has also asked private hospitals to increase beds, especially the ICU ones. Currently, the NMMC area has more than 10,000 active cases, majority of which have mild and moderate symptoms.
