Sunday visited the Arthur Road Jail complex in central Mumbai, where 77 inmates and 26 staffers have been infected with the novel coronavirus, and the adjacent police quarters, a civic official said.

She interacted with personnel posted in the prison and asked officials of BMC's G-South ward to disinfect the area.

The 77 inmates have been shifted to a vacant building in Mahul in Chembur, while the 26 staffers are undergoing treatment at different places.

All of them tested positive after coming in contact with an infected cook.
