The financial capital of India was reporting over 3,000 cases every day over the last few days. The spike in the number of COVID-19 cases has been attributed to the increased number of tests that are being conducted daily across the city.
With rise in the number of #COVIDー19 cases in the city, BMC increase the availability of COVID-19 beds from 13,773 to 21,000.

Recently, the BMC started testing people randomly at crowded places like malls, railway stations, bus depots, khau galli, markets, tourist places, and government offices. As per a notification issued by the civic body, if a citizen refuses to take the test, it would amount to an offence under the Epidemic Act, 1897.
Considering the spike in numbers, the civic body has also increased the availability of COVID-19 beds from 13,773 to 21,000. The BMC, which completed administering 10 lakh doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday has also assured of increasing the number to 1 lakh vaccination per day.
