Mumbai: India s devastating new wave of infections appears to have landed on its urban affluent, a group whose lives are usually insulated from the country s worst economic and social crises. In Mumbai, India s financial center, almost 600,000 households are in buildings that have been partially or completely sealed by government authorities, which indicates the coronavirus is spreading rapidly among the city s middle and upper middle classes. Official data show 164,000 slum households are in areas demarcated as containment zones, despite the poor being packed in far more tightly. Most cases are coming from buildings and high rises and not slums, Suresh Kakani, Mumbai s deputy municipal commissioner, said by phone.
