Of these, 74,000 patients had no symptoms of corona. However, they tested positive for the virus. Remaining 17,000 patients showed by very limited symptoms of covid.

Those who do not have corona symptoms, but have tested positive for the virus have been advised to stay at home in isolation. For which their hands are being stamped. If people with stamp on their hands are found in public places, an FIR will be registered against them. They may even be arrested.

9,900 hospital beds in Mumbai are fully occupied. This week, 4,000 beds will be made available online. The government does not want lockdown. "People will not need a lockdown if they follow the Covid rules," Chahal said.
