As the Central and state governments allow phase-wise relaxation in curbs to get the life up and running again following over two months of lockdown to prevent the spread of Covid-19, we bring you the latest updates from Mumbai.
* Update at 9.42am: India reports the highest single-day spike of 9,971 new Covid-19 cases; 287 deaths in the last 24 hours. Total number of cases in the country now at 2,46,628, including 1,20,406 active cases
*With shops opening up gradually, garages across Mumbai have cars and two-wheelers coming in for servicing, as a majority of vehicles had gathered dust in parking lots for more than months. Garages are also inundated with requests for accessories to help maintain social distancing—the new normal.
*The Bombay high court has pulled up the BMC for requisitioning buildings in redevelopment projects for use as quarantine centres when their original tenants were awaiting the new homes in “pathetic circumstances’’. It called the BMC’s move “absolutely unjust and unfair”.
*A Covid-19 patient was recently charged Rs 8,000 by a private ambulance to transport her from one hospital to another 200 metres away in Kurla, reports Mohammed Wajihuddin.
*The Dharavi area, Mumbai’s biggest hotspot, recorded ten Covid-19 cases on Saturday, the lowest since April 27 when it had recorded 13 cases.
*In what the Mumbai’s civic officials claim is a sign of “recovery,” the once-sharp gap between the number of daily hospital admissions due to Covid-19 and the number of hospital discharges is narrowing.
