India's largest slum spreads Mumbai, India April 10 at 21:46
In the western part of India, where people living with poor people are called `` the largest slum in Asia, '' the spread of the new coronavirus is widespread, the sanitary environment is poor, and the healthcare system is not in place. How to prevent expansion is a major issue.
Darabi, located in Mumbai, India's largest commercial city, is a slum that is said to be home to about one million people, 22 people have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus by October 10 and three have died .
Over the next two weeks or so, the local government has announced a policy to screen approximately 750,000 of the slum population for viruses.
In areas where the infection was confirmed, residents were banned from going out and local governments delivered food and other necessities, and measures were strengthened.
However, in the local area, the population is densely packed in a small area, and the sanitary environment is poor, such as insufficient toilets, and it is not possible to receive appropriate medical care.
In Mumbai, where the disparity is severe, it is said that about 8 million people, or 40% of the population, live in slums scattered around the country, and how to prevent the spread of infection to the poor is a major issue.
