Mumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has sealed several floors of a building in south Mumbai where actor Suniel Shetty resides due to detection of rising Covid-19 cases from there, civic sources said on Monday.
The actor and his family members are not affected, the sources added.
BMC D ward officer Gaikwad said that the 30-storey building with 120 flats is Pratiksha Apartments, on Altamount Road, where some of the floors have been sealed after detection of covid-19 infections.
As per BMC’s Covid-19 protocols, if there are more than five active cases in any particular building, it is eligible for sealing to prevent further spread of the contagion.
According to the BMC, in the second wave, a majority of the cases have been reported from residential buildings or skyscrapers as compared to the crowded slum areas.
