Half of Mumbai’s slum residents have had coronavirus – study
India is the third-worst hit country in the world, but there are concerns a lack of testing could mean the true figure is far higher
Over half the people living in the slums of Mumbai have had the coronavirus, according to a city-commissioned study that raises fresh doubts about India’s official case numbers.
India is already the third-worst hit country after the US and Brazil, with nearly 1.5 million cases, though experts have previously said the lack of testing could mean the true tally is much higher.
