As COVID-19 spreads to residential buildings from slum pockets in P North ward (Malad), the BMC prepares to tackle the contagion with door-to-door screening. Starting today, the ward officials, with the help of an NGO, will screen the residents for symptoms of the novel Coronavirus.

The BMC took the decision to conduct door-to-door testing after infections surged in the residential areas of P North ward, which has so far reported around 4,000 cases.
