The Willingdon Sports Club (WSC) at Haji Ali has joined its Worli and Mahalaxmi siblings to become one more venue in the COVID fight. The club has been taken over as a quarantine centre. The areas zeroed in are a tennis court for a 250-bed ICU and the badminton court/mezzanine floor as a quarantine and recovery area for patients and doctors.
A club member speaking on anonymity, said after a survey was done recently, news had spread about the upscale club being surveyed by officials. "At that time, some members were hoping that it would stop at that. But obviously, the next step has been taken and is a quarantine facility now."
