Mumbai: This city only has one day of zero covid death since March 26, 2020, but Dharavi – calculated among the most dense slums in the world – have not reported a single Covid death for 79 consecutive days, according to Civic data.
Dharavi has emerged as a covid severity barometer during the first wave, with BMC officials who fear infection will spread too fast in solid pockets to overcome the health care system.
An owner of the 56-year-old garment unit, who has held a member of Tabligh Jamaat in one of his flats at Dr.
Biga Nagar, is the first case in Dharavi; He died on April 1, 2020.
Dharavi has noted the calculation of 7,128 cases (with only 30 active now) and 417 deaths.
No deaths reported in September and October so far, and August sees death alone.
However, 15 deaths were reported in July.
Assistant Commissioner Municipal Municipal Ward Utara Kiran Dighavkar saw this as a progressive increase.
First, the number of cases began to fall after the second wave peak.
“In mid-June, for the first time, Dharavi reported a daily zero day,” he said.
Tally daily has been in a single or double digit on most of the days of it.
“We ask people to voluntarily test themselves free.
It must be done to ensure symptomatic patients are identified and stored in isolation so that they cannot spread the disease,” said Dighavkar, the book, ‘Dharavi model’, released by CM Uddhav Thackeray last month.
On Sunday, when the city recorded no death, BMC Chaif ​​I Chahal said Mumbai would see more days “Zero Death” when vaccination drives increased.
Dharavi Resident S Jeeva Peter said life returned normal as before.
“People moved and the pandemic was almost something from the past,” he said.
He said the concept of social blasphemy and the use of hand cleansers might be common at least in several city pockets, but almost no one used it in Dharavi.
Covid-19 had entered Dharavi on April 1 last year, and there were days when more than 80 cases were reported too.
For example, May 3 last year watched 95 positive cases reported in one day, while on May 15, there were 84 cases reported.
