By The BrihanMumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Thursday said it has approved two five-star hotels in Mumbai which can be used by private hospitals to admit Covid-19 patients who are not critical.
A total of 42 beds — 22 in the InterContinental hotel in Marine Drive and 20 in the Trident Hotel in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) — will be made available, the BMC said. It added that more hotels can be used for admitting such patients in the coming days if such a need arises.
The civic body chief further said these hotels will be “dovetailed and run by professionals from major private hospitals” and steps will be taken to make more beds available for patients who are in need by shifting the substantially recovered patients to Covid-19 care facilities which will be managed by professional doctors.
Mumbai on Wednesday added 9,931 new Covid-19 disease cases and 54 more related deaths, taking the caseload and death toll to 545,195 and 12,147 respectively. Maharashtra, on the other hand, recorded 58,952 cases and 278 more deaths in the last 24 hours.
