The number of active Covid-19 cases in all wards increased almost three-fold in the peak of the second wave, in comparison to the peak of the first wave. Goregaon (P-south) and Bandra West (H-West) have seen a sharp growth, more than four folds of the previous one. The growth rate is higher in the wards which have more people residing in high-rises, and though Malad (P-North), Kurla (L ward) have also recorded high number of cases compared to the first wave, the cases in these slum dominated wards also came from high-rises. It is also seen that the same seven wards that were hit hard in the first wave, were hit hard in the second wave (these are the first seven wards in the table below right).
