The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has stopped new admissions of Covid-19 patients at three jumbo facilities in the city till June 1 due to pre-monsoon repair work, the BMC said on Monday.

Most of the patients from these facilities, located at the Bandra-Kurla Complex, Dahisar and Mulund, were shifted to other hospitals before cyclone Tauktae, Dr Rajesh Dere, dean of the jumbo Covid-19 centre at the BKC, said. "New admissions have been stopped at these three Covid-19 centres till June 1," he said. Dere said the repairs undertaken as part of preparations ahead of the upcoming monsoon season and all other necessary works will be done in this period as these temporary structures were in service since the past one year.
