A total of 7 new COVID-19 cases were reported in Dharavi area on Tuesday, said Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).This takes the total number of cases in Asia's biggest slum to 2,945.

As per the BMC, Dharavi currently has 144 active cases and 2,530 people have been cured/discharged.

The slum colony of Dharavi recorded the lowest in almost a week, said a senior BMC official.
