Presently, 5,030 active cases still remain in the city as the health authorities heave a sigh of relief.

Presently, the city's doubling rate has increased to 1,214 days, with a recovery rate as high as 97 percent now.
With no containment zones in the city's chawls or slums, only 50 buildings remain under seal now, a huge improvement over the tense days in the first and second waves of Covid when these figures ran into thousands - IANS
