The number of Covid-19 patients in Dharavi, Mumbai's biggest slum sprawl, reached 808 on Friday as 25 more persons tested positive for the infection, a senior official of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said. The death toll in the area also rose to 26, he said.

An anaesthetist in the city said he had to postpone two surgeries on Friday as he couldn’t prescribe Covid-19 tests after the BMC order late on Thursday barring tests except when approved by the civic health officer. “Testing on a private doctor’s prescription is currently not permitted,” said a message from one of the private labs to a doctor. “If physicians, surgeons cannot advise a test, what is the point of coercing us to open clinics and hospitals?” said a Goregaon-based doctor.

In a bid to tackle the spread of coronavirus in a more effective manner, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has put additional commissioners in charge of seven zones in the city. As per the order, seven additional commissioners will work towards improving the double rate of positive cases from 10 days to 20 days by May 17.
