Dharavi has around 179 covid cases with 12 deaths. It spans across 2.1km with around 1mn people living in just that stretch. This is going to get worse, how does one even manage to do social distancing + economic status is already a challenge for them. #Mumbai #coronavirus
With regards to hygienic, the slum has 225 public toilets and most likely over 2000 people are sharing a single toilet daily. And they don’t even have access to reliable water to sanitise themselves. #Dharavi #Mumbai #coronavirus
