After Ganeshotsav, there has been no drastic spike in the Covid cases. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has said that one cannot rule out an alarming surge in the Covid cases.

On Monday, the BMC had informed the Bombay HC that it does not see the much feared third wave of the Covid virus hitting Mumbai.

On Monday, Anil Sakhare, who is the BMC’s council, informed the High Court that the work of vaccination is going on very smoothly, also, there is no shortage of vaccines. Mumbai is safe and we do not see the third wave of the virus coming.

Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commissioner of the BMC, said, “The situation right now in the city is very comfortable and it is maybe safe considering we are able to handle the caseload very well and there is adequate health infrastructure to handle cases. However, we cannot completely rule out any further spike. There are festivals upcoming, including Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali where there will be gatherings.”
