- W4386963174 abstract "Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai, India that is home to some 850,000 people, is one of the largest slums in the world. It is also one of the densest in Asia, with an estimated population density of 340,000 people per square kilometer. Because of this, when the first case of COVID-19 was reported on April 1, 2020, certain response measures, such as practicing social distancing, were impossible. Despite these challenges, it was imperative to mount a response to the outbreak. In the context of rapidly increasing case counts, and with support from the local community, active screening of all the residents was pursued and contact tracing of confirmed cases was conducted. By the first week of May 2020, authorities had screened around 47,500 households and over 500,000 people for COVID-19, including over 120,000 senior citizens. Symptomatic patients were either quarantined at local sports clubs and schools that had been converted to temporary quarantine facilities or treated at a private hospital that had been acquired. Local authorities also took action to ensure that essential supplies were made available to all the slum residents and that their cultural norms were respected, which was important, especially when considering that the outbreak occurred during the holy month of Ramadan. As a result of these efforts, incidence rates dropped to around 20 patients per day by the end of May, and many symptomatic patients showed considerable improvement. This approach could be adopted for other densely populated, low-income environments where certain outbreak response measures like social distancing are infeasible or impractical." @default.
