Mumbai: Asia's largest slum Dharavi defeats Covid second wave
  • 3 years ago
Mumbai's slum colony of Dharavi has seen a gradual drop in single-day infections - below 5 - in the last couple of days with the tally of patients under treatment dropping to 50, marking a turnaround in the Covid-19 second wave. The ''Dharavi model'' of Covid-19 management and the vaccination drive has helped in successfully containing the second wave in the area, officials said. Since the outbreak of coronavirus in April 2020, the slum-dominated area has reported 354 deaths (till May 26). Of those, 42 fatalities have been recorded since February 7, 2021, the officials said.
