BMC to shut all ward-level Covid centres, to retain just 1 per zone

MUMBAI: All ward level Covid care centres have been directed to shut down. Now, the BMC has decided to have just one Covid care centre operational per zone.

The BMC has divided the city into seven zones, with 3 to 4 wards under each. For instance, in the eastern suburbs, one Covid care centre in Powai will be operational for wards L (Kurla, Saki Naka), M-East (Govandi) and M-West (Chembur). The BMC had taken over unoccupied SRA and Mhada buildings and in some places even 2- or 3-star hotels from where Covid care centres 1 and 2 (CCC-1 and CCC-2) were being operated. In the third wave, schools were not used as CCC1-2, as by then they had already resumed functioning.
