Doctors on duty
As coronavirus cases continue to swell in Mumbai, healthcare professionals in the city are working round the clock to ensure that COVID-19 patients get the best treatment and recover from the infection soon. The metropolis has been recording more recoveries than daily cases for the past few days -- a sigh of relief for both the medical professionals as well as the government. Photo: AP
To their patients' aid
Not only doctors, but supporting medical staff such as nurses, wardboys, cleaners and sanitation workers are also giving their 100 per cent efforts in taking care of their patients.

Post-recovery advice
Even after recovering from the infection, patients are being advised to take utmost care of themselves and monitor their health for the next few days. Doctors can be seen advising a patient at the BKC Jumbo COVID centre as he gears up to return home after testing negative for coronavirus. Photo: AP
Drive-in vaccination continues
The drive-in vaccination centres set up across Mumbai have been getting a lot of positive responses from the citizens. Just in the first five days of the drive-in facilities, close to 3000 persons had received the vaccine. Mumbaikars have been lauding the BMC for the management at these centres and are also demanding for more of them in the city. Photo: AFP
Vaccine shortage
Meanwhile, Mumbai continues to face the vaccine crunch, which has resulted into massive inconvenience for citizens, especially for senior citizens. On Tuesday, the ESIS Hospital in Vashi, Navi Mumbai ran out of vaccine stocks and beneficiaries were seen arguing and complaining to the officials present at the site.
Covaxin doses for 45+
The Maharashtra Government has decided to divert Covaxin doses that were purchased for vaccinating the 18-44 age group people, towards the completion of second doses of the 45 plus age group beneficiaries. Nearly 5 lakh people are due for a second dose, hence, the Uddhav Thackeray-led government has decided to divert the doses.
Water for Rs 2
While people all around the country are helping each other in some or the other way in these trying times, a man at Mankhurd is doing a simple yet noble deed of providing water to people for quenching their thirst. The water is being packed in small plastic pouches and each pouch costs Rs 2. Photo by Sachin Haralkar
A helping hand
His initiative is being appreciated especially by those who are working relentlessly under the scorching sun. It solves the purpose and is also easy on the pockets of those who do not want to buy a full-sized bottle which costs Rs 10 to Rs 20. Photo by Sachin Haralkar
