In order to ensure that a third wave of the pandemic doesn’t affect the state the way the second one did and that the city is well-prepared to face it, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) along with various private organisations has started augmenting Mumbai’s bed capacity for Covid-19 patients. Civic sources said that the existing ICU facility at SevenHills was being developed and it would also set up three jumbo centres in the city.
