The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has taken another decision regarding isolation and quarantine centres in Mumbai. With the number of cases popping up in Mumbai has slowed down a little bit and the doubling rate reaching 75 days, BMC has decided to shut down several small isolation and quarantine centres also known COVID Care Centres. 

In April, with the situation of Coronavirus worsening in Mumbai many colleges, institutions, gymkhanas had been converted to Covid Care Centres due to the lack of beds in Hospitals.

A senior expert in April predicted that the condition will worsen in June-July and we might run of beds in hospitals. But the situation had improved actually in June-July with areas like Dharavi and Worli no longer being Major Hotspots.

Currently the situation of Mumbai is said to be better than April and May. Yesterday around 11,000 tests had been done the highest in a single day so far . The recovery rate of Mumbai is 76 per cent with 86,385 Recoveries out of 1,13,187 cases and around 20,211 are still active cases.
