As countries like Hong Kong and Singapore report a fresh rise in COVID-19 cases, concerns are growing closer to home. In a recent development, 53 suspected coronavirus patients have been identified in Mumbai, raising fears of a possible resurgence of the virus.
While the world has largely moved past the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the latest reports have prompted the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to increase vigilance. The civic body has assured citizens that hospitals are fully prepared to handle any emergency situation.
Health workers have issued advisories urging the public to take necessary precautions, especially those with underlying health conditions or weakened immunity.
The BMC has also released updated guidelines and confirmed that special isolation rooms have been set up in municipal hospitals across the city to treat suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases.
With these developments, concerns are growing that COVID-19 may be re-emerging in Mumbai. While officials urge calm, they also emphasize the importance of continued caution and adherence to public health protocols.
