Indicating reduced transmission of COVID-19, the number of containment zones (CZ) and sealed buildings in the city has dropped further. While there isn't any restriction on movement in these areas, they still exist on paper to control certain activities and to take action in emergencies. While there are 2,587 sealed buildings, the least since May, active CZs in slums stand at 286.
On paper, there are 27.97 lakh people in these restricted zones.
