BMC screens H1N1, surveys breeding spots
BMC teams are now screening suspected swine flu patients, handing out meds, and checking in on anyone who had close contact for 10 days.
Hospitals have set aside special beds and stocked up on equipment.
For malaria, they've surveyed 52,197 possible mosquito breeding spots in key wards to stop outbreaks early.
On a brighter note: dengue, leptospirosis, and COVID-19 numbers are all down this year in Mumbai.
