On Friday, Dharavi reported 10 new cases of coronavirus taking the tally to 2,438 the city civic body said.

The number of coronavirus positive patients in Dharavi has risen by 10 mounting the tally to 2,438 on Friday, a senior official of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) said.

Dharavi currently has only 102 active COVID-19 cases, as 2,087 patients have been discharged so far post recovery, he said.

The civic body, however, has stopped disclosing the number of deaths, if any, in the slum-dominated area since the last month.

In Dadar and Mahim areas that are part of the BMC's G-North administrative ward, which also houses Dharavi, 43 and 14 new COVID-19 cases were found on Friday respectively .

The G-North ward has so far reported 5,257 COVID-19 cases, of which 2,438 are from Dharavi alone.

Last week, the World Health Organisation (WHO) had praised the efforts taken to contain the spread of the COVID- 19 in Dharavi.
