Tata Institute expects 50% of city population to develop herd immunity by Jan

According to a report submitted to the BMC, nearly 75 percent of people living in slum pockets in Mumbai and 50 percent of those residing in non-slum pockets would develop antibodies by December or January.

The whole community gains protection, not just those who are immune. The TIFR team has said that Mumbai should open up by 30 percent in September in terms of attendance in offices and the capacity of transport systems.
