High-risk contacts lead a covid surge in the South Mumbai ward

Mumbai: With a slight increase in Covid case in the upper class Ward Mumbai South, BMC plans to check whether those infected ones have been vaccinated or not.
Officials said most infections in the past recently turned out to be a high-risk contact (HRC) of covid patients.
D Ward consists of brand candy, Peddar Road, Nepean Sea Road to the Grand Road, Tardeo and part of Girgum.
Prashant Gaikwad, Assistant Commissioner Kota Ward said D Ward had reported around 14-15 cases, but for the past three to four days, the case has floated around 24-28 per day.
“We have tested aggressively and have found that most infected has been among high-risk contacts.
When vaccination has grown rapidly, we plan to check how many of those who are infected are vaccinated to learn whether there is a pattern,” said Gaikwad, added Covid cases are active in today’s ward around 250.
The official can also be a reason for Spike, especially because many get themselves tested as part of the work protocol.
Nandini Chabbria, the office carrier from Brot Candy Alm, said many of them were infected could be those who had not been vaccinated or those who had lowered their guards after one shot.
“The trip must have risen as it happened after the first wave subsided.
BMC must force all the essential and not important shopkeepers to ensure all their staff are vaccinated.
They can also be asked to place boards outside their shops that state their staff vaccination status, “He said.
“It is very important for people to act responsibly and quarantit themselves,” said Mushra from the Sea Road Nepean forum.
