Workers build the city's biggest quarantine and isolation facility at the exhibition ground on MMRDA grounds at Bandra-Kurla Complex.

This hospital will have cabins with a dedicated oxygen supply, along with common wards for patients, cabins for doctors, and nurses. Also, there will be facilities for laundry to be washed.

With sewage and bio-degradable waste disposable systems in place, safety and cleanliness remain a priority.

Dedicated units with kitchens will be built for doctors and health staff like in regular hospitals.??
