Admissions of new Covid-19 patients have been temporarily halted at three jumbo facilities by the Brihanmumbai municipal corporation (BMC) owing to pre-monsoon repair work.
Admissions were halted on Monday. The facilities will not take new patients till June 1, according to a LiveMint report.
During this time, the facilities will undertake the repairs as part of pre-monsoon preparations ahead of the monsoon season and other necessary works as these temporary structures were in service since 2020, Dr Rajesh Dere, dean of the jumbo Covid-19 centre at the BKC said, as per the report.
A majority of the patients at these facilities in Bandra-Kurla Complex, Dahisar and Mulund, were shifted to other hospitals earlier this month prior to the Cyclone Tauktae, Dr Dere added.
