Mumbai Jumbo Covid Facility

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has said the allegation of a Rs 100 crore scam in setting up of jumbo COVID-19 centres is "baseless" as only Rs 33.13 crore has been spent on providing manpower at two such facilities in the city.

Mumbai, the country's financial capital, now has a new 2,170-bed Jumbo Covid Hospital. The city, one of the worst hit by the coronavirus pandemic, readied the new state-of-the-art facility in a little over a month.

There has been a rapid decline in the number of daily COVID-19 cases in Mumbai - once the country's largest hotspot. Data shows that over the last few weeks Maharashtra's capital city has been reporting less than 500 cases and no more than 10 deaths.
