As many as 189 of the 930 containment zones in the city have got off the list for tight lockdown till April 22 after they completed 14 days without a new infection since a Covid-19 case was found. Over 300 pockets still continue in the strictest red zone.
A containment zone is where a Covid-19 patient and his contacts live. “During the 14-day quarantine, we monitor if there are any new Covid-19 patients from the area. Only if there is no new case, a decision is taken at the ward level to release the area. If patients increase, another 14-day quarantine is accounted for,” said a senior ward level official.
Some of the areas released include buildings on Ridge road in Malabar Hill, Arab Lane, Grant road, Forjett Street, Antop Hill-Wadala, Hiranandani in Powai, IC Colony in Borivli and chawls in Parel, Sewri, Kanamwar Nagar in Vikrohli, and Lalbaug.
