Could you tell please where the biggest slum is located in the world? And the amid of the COVID-19 pandemic, how to way the slum peoples will make isolation or social distancing. I noticed in our country they are infected less. What is the reality behind cause such mysterious incident.
The biggest slum of the world is considered to be located in Mumbai, India, see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharavi
If it really the largest slum is difficult to tell because authorities rarly are able to measure the correct populations everywhere...
COVID-19 went through this slum and herd immunity was reached at about 57 % of inhabitants.
REports can be googled in the internet.
India's public health administrators managed to keep the death toll at bay with 2,000 public health workers and isolation/lockdown measures...
A remarkable example that must be understood and followed elsewhere on the world...
Thank you four your question. It is of importance.
Social distancing, washing the hands, wearing nose/mouth masks are alltogether the key to prevent COVID-19 from spreading rapidly...

Md. Abdur Razzak Choudhury We can scientifically detect a very negative correlation between diseases and socio-economic status; this is, of course, not the will of our creator, but a man-made issue.

Unfortunately, slums and poverty still occur in many parts of the world. It is often the result of incorrectly conducted economic policies, which allow for extreme income stratification in modern economies. The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic is developing in a variety of communities, including multi-faceted, income-diverse social strata. On the other hand, in slums, in conditions of low income, in conditions of poverty, including limited access to running drinking water, less developed system of health care institutions, more difficult conditions for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Therefore, in conditions of extreme poverty, infectious diseases can develop on a much larger scale in slums.
