The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) vacated its three Jumbo Covid-19 Centres almost completely ahead of Cyclone Tauktae and only a handful of patients are left at the facilities. The decision to move them was taken on Saturday evening after the IMD warned of the cyclone passing through the city.

The decision was also taken as there was a threat to patients due to the temporary angular structure of the facilities at BKC and Dahisar and the potentially hazardous material like heavy AC panelling and oxygen cylinders that are exposed to the elements.
