With daily COVID cases on the rise in the city and more Omicron infections coming to the fore, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) data has revealed that most of them are from high-rises, just the way it was during the initial days of the first wave. While the latter part of the first wave saw more cases in the slums, the second wave affected mainly the non-slum areas. 

Currently, the state has 65 Omicron cases, out of which 21 are from Mumbai. The COVID cases have been on the rise since last week. From December 15 to 20, the city registered 1,962 cases with an average of 280 cases daily. In the first half of the month, the city saw an average of 201 cases daily. On Wednesday, the city registered 490 cases.
