Coronavirus in Maharashtra: Mumbai remains to be worst-affected by the coronavirus in Maharashtra - that has emerged as the epicentre of the coronavirus pandemic in India with nearly 1,400 cases and 97 deaths. In Mumbai itself, the number of positive cases has risen to 876. Therefore, in an attempt to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has identified over 381 ‘containment zones or no go zones’ across the city with the help of Mumbai Police.
Considering the rapid rise in coronavirus cases in Mumbai, authorities on Thursday sealed COVID-19 hotspots across the city, including Dharavi area. On Wednesday, BMC made wearing masks compulsory in Mumbai.
List of roads that will be sealed with immediate effect in Mumbai's Dharavi:
- Mahim Fatak
- Andhra Valley Road
- Dharavi Main Road
- Dharavi Cross Road
- Matunga Labour Camp
- Sant Rohidas Marg
- T.H.Katariya Marg
- A.K.G. Nagar
- Madina Nagar
- Chitranagari
BMC has banned all unlicensed vegetable and fruit markets, hawkers and sellers in containment area or buffer zone in Dharavi to prevent further spread of the virus. Only medical outlets are allowed to function. The number of containment zones in Mumbai has also increased from 146 on 31 March to 381 on Thursday. These include housing societies, slum pockets, and hospitals, including Wockhardt Hospital, Jaslok Hospital, and Bhatia Hospital.
BMC has barred the entry or exit of people from the containment zones. The municipal corporation said it will start providing door-to-door service for essentials items soon, reports ANI.
Maharashtra has also classified containment zones as simple zones (with one case) and cluster containment zones (with 3-5 cases), besides creating a buffer zone around these containment zones.
The Ministry of Health defines COVID-19 containment zones as the area where several positive cases of Coronavirus are found.
“The cluster containment strategy would be to contain the disease within a defined geographic area by detecting cases in the nascent stage, breaking the chain of transmission and preventing its spread to new areas. This would include geographic quarantine, social distancing measures, enhanced active surveillance, testing all suspected cases, isolation of cases, quarantine of contacts and risk communication to create awareness among the public on preventive public health measures,” said the Ministry of Health.
