On Wednesday, Dharavi reported only two new cases of coronavirus taking the tally to 2,545, the city civic body said.

A senior Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official said two fresh infections took the tally to 2,545, but Dharavi has only 83 active COVID-19 cases.

As many as 2,462 patients have already recovered and discharged from COVID-19 facilities, he said.
