Since Unlock 1.0, the eastern suburb of Mulund has witnessed a significant increase in the number of COVID-19 cases. While the BMC claims it has managed to control the spread in slum pockets, it's businessmen in residential areas and high-rises who seem to have recently contracted the virus.

Mulund's geopolitical make-up is such that it is home to many small businessmen working in the APMC, customs and other such areas. Owing to the relaxation of norms and businessmen travelling to different parts of the city, the number of positive cases among the middle and upper-middle class is increasing rapidly.
