Around 32 people living in slums in Ambernath have been home quarantined. Although Ambernath has four quarantine centres, officials said they do not have staff to take care of patients. After three positive cases, Ambernath Municipal Council (AMC) has asked close contacts of patients to be quarantined. Dr Shashikant Dode said, “It is difficult for the 32 people to be home quarantined as their homes are very small.” AMC chief officer Devidas Pawar did not answer calls nor respond to messages.
