Temporary Covid-19 centres getting dismantled amid signs pandemic is ending

About 92% of cases in India are said to be having mild disease. In only 5.8% of cases oxygen therapy is required, intensive care in only 1.7% cases

The temporary Covid-19 centre at Mulund in the eastern suburbs of Mumbai, which once housed 1,650 beds, now wears a deserted look. Barring a few security personnel and packers coming in to pick up equipment from the facility, this once busy centre is now an empty stretch of land on the Richardson and Cruddas factory premises.
 

“This place started operations in July 2020, and during the peak, we used to help admit 150-200 Covid-19 patients. We handled the patients with our own hands every day,” says a security guard at the centre.
