mumbaiUpdated: Aug 29, 2020 08:45 ISTWhile the Covid-19 curve has started to flatten in Dharavi, India’s largest slum cluster, the number of Covid-19 cases have doubled in neighbouring Mahim and Dadar areas in the last 40 to 60 days. The BMC, starting September 01, is also going to scale down Covid-19 containment facilities in Dharavi owing to the flattening of the curve. Maximum cases that we are detecting are of those who are asymptomatic and most are from high-rises. Similarly, in Mahim, cases have reached 2,192 from 1,092 on June 28. Maximum active cases are from Dadar (400) and Mahim (294) while Dharavi (93) has the lowest number of active cases.
