The BEST Undertaking has about 33,770 employees on the role as per latest records. In the first week itself, about 7,000 had received the jab. It comprises employees of both the transport and electricity wing.
As per the latest statistics, there has not been a single COVID-19 positive case in BEST Undertaking for the past three days. The BEST’s tele-monitoring severity score system monitors the health of COVID-19 patients through five minutes calls periodically, which has made a positive impact on recovery amongst the COVID-19 patients.
BEST employees have been lined up for vaccination since they have been frontline workers in Mumbai as it is the only public transport undertaking in the city that has been working without a break since the lockdown began in March 2020.
