Thane and Kalyan record highest single-day spikes in Covid-19 cases

Thane recorded its biggest one-day spike in Covid cases on Friday. With 365 testing positive, Thane's cumulative Covid cases have reached 7,456. Kalyan-Dombivli too reported its single-day highest case count, 358, taking its total to 4,873. Navi Mumbai and Panvel City reported 224 and 87 new cases, taking their totals to 5,853 and 1,699.
With the surges, a range of restrictions and measures, including declaration of containment zones and deployment of SRPF, were put in place across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).KDMC declared 32 localities as containment zones, which meant all shops and other commercial establishments in the area except shops selling essentials (to be home-delivered) will remain closed. NMMC declared 10 local areas in various wards as containment zones for a week.
But Thane Municipal Corporation officials said no immediate lockdown or remedial measures will be implemented and something is likely to be formulated after a meeting with the central team likely to visit on Saturday.
