An official from MMRC said that the work, which started a couple of days back, is being undertaken on a war-footing and is expected to be completed in the next two weeks.

The state government has asked various agencies to build isolation and quarantine facilities to ramp up health infrastructure in the city. Recently, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) constructed a 1,023-bed facility for non-critical patients at the Bandra Kurla Complex grounds.

MMRC is constructing the underground 33.5 km Colaba-Bandra-Seepz metro corridor in the city.
