With today’s 21 positive cases total number of positive cases in Mira Bhayander till date is 351 with Active 112 Cases.
With over 70 per cent COVID-19 patients having links to Mumbai, one of the worst hit cities in the country, the Mira-Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) has started collecting data of the residents’ travel to the financial hub for work every day.
According to the official data, 72 per cent of the 312 cases of novel Coronavirus in MBMC have either travelled to Mumbai for work or have close contact with them. mid-day had earlier reported that the corporations and councils in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region had asked BMC to provide accommodation to their residents near the workplace or minimise the workforce.
The BMC had arranged stay for health and water department officials, but that seem to be insufficient. On Saturday, only two of the 21 new cases had no links to Mumbai. The rest included those who had recently travelled to Mumbai or close contact of someone who had been to the city recently.
