Mumbai: More BMC wards see Covid cases, but in single digits

Two weeks after nine big wards reported zero cases, seven of them now account for 18 cases; officials say very difficult to predict trends

Two weeks ago, it seemed like Mumbai was heading towards the end of Covid-19 with nine wards not reporting a single case in a week. However, amid the global surge in Covid cases, seven of these nine wards have reported a total of 18 cases in the past seven days. Only five wards did not report any cases in the past week. BMC officials said there was no way to predict if and when cases may spike in the city, but added that they are ready to handle patients in case of a new wave.
