India at risk of being next virus hot spot

Transcript

India is at risk of being the next hotspot of the coronavirus.

Efforts are ramping up to contain an outbreak in one of Asia’s largest slums, Dharavi.

At least five people tested positive for the virus in Dharavi, which is a massive slum outside of the city of Mumbai in India.

This includes a 56-year-old man who died Wednesday.

Dharavi is home to around one million people.

A health camp has been set up to fight the spread and more than 270 healthcare workers are working to identify and test residents who may have come in contact with the virus.
