While the BMC has converted Nair hospital to treat COVID-19 patients, it also shifted 1,054 positive patients to Corona Care Centres in the last seven days to decongest the overflowing hospitals. But going by the increasing number of patients and few discharged patients, it is proving of a little help to the civic body.

The BMC had come up with a plan to decongest hospital while allowing beds to symptomatic, high-risk new patients. So as per new strategy, they moved asymptomatic positive patients without co-morbidities to CCC2.
