MUMBAI: The civic administration will begin full-scale dismantling of jumbo field hospitals as Covid-19 cases are low in the city after last month's surge. With the exception of the jumbo facility on Somaiya hospital grounds in Sion, that wasn't operationalised, BMC has either begun or is in the process of starting dismantling of jumbos which helped handle the huge number of Covid patients in the first and second waves in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
A senior BMC official said the entire process will take almost two months. "Even if physical dismantling is completed now, it would take us a month to finish administrative formalities like payments, distributing machinery and equipment and other audits," said the senior official.
