Mumbai, Jul 25: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has specified that in Dahisar, Borivli, Kandivli and Malad all people of housing societies will have to be quarantined for 14 days if a Covid-19 case was found.
BMC decided to seal the entire building, instead of only the particular floor where a Covid-19 case was detected the decision comes as the higher incidence of infections in high rises and housing societies.
The areas include Dahisar, Borivli, Kandivli and Malad, where a high number of cases are coming from non-slum areas. No entry and exit will be allowed during this period.
“This means that several high-risk contact residents are positive and maybe the asymptomatic ones are going out and spreading the virus to others. Hence, this decision has been taken.” said a BMC official.
