In another incident, two employees from the disaster management control room at the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters in Fort tested positive for Covid-19, civic officials said on Monday.

“Since the two staffers were asymptomatic, they have been quarantined at a Covid Care Centre. The rest of the staff have been quarantined in the control room itself,” read a press release by the BMC on Monday evening.

The second floor of the building, which houses the control room, has been sealed. The whole building is being disinfected. The control room has not been sealed and the employees quarantined there are coordinating with another control room at Parel for monitoring. “Covid-19-related monitoring is not affected as there is another control room at Parel. Two teams have been divided and the second team will assist in monitoring and functioning,” read the press release.
