On Monday, Dharavi reported six new cases of coronavirus taking the tally to 2,381, the city civic body said.

A senior Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official said the half-a-dozen fresh infections took the tally to 2,381, but Dharavi has only 96 active COVID-19 cases.

As many as 2,039 patients have already recovered and discharged from COVID-19 facilities, he said.

The civic body has, however, stopped disclosing COVID-19 deaths, if any, in the slum-dominated area since the last month.

Notably, the number of active COVID-19 cases from Dharavi has dipped below the 100-mark after a long time.

World Health Organization (WHO) praised the efficient COVID-19 management in Mumbai's Dharavi, one of the largest slums in the world. However the local medical practitioners and the administration have said that results have been achieved due to work done in collaboration by various organizations.
