Thane : Learning from the hard lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thane Municipal Corporation has set up a Metropolitan Surveillance Unit (SSU) center under a central government scheme. This district-level center will play a key role in detecting, tracking, and controlling future epidemics. It will officially begin partial operations from October 2.

The SSU will be responsible for identifying where an epidemic begins, studying what type of outbreak it is, and suggesting immediate measures to contain it. The center will function under the supervision of the Thane Municipal Corporation but will cater to the entire district. Officials say this initiative will ensure that the city and surrounding areas are better prepared for potential health emergencies.
