Eighteen inmates from Chembur Children’s Home in Mankhurd have tested positive for novel Coronavirus. All of them are asymptomatic and have been shifted to a quarantine centre at Vashi Naka in Chembur.

“A child was brought to Chembur Children’s Home in July and had tested negative then. Last week [on August 27], he was shifted to another home and he tested positive there,” said an official from the Chembur home on condition of anonymity.
