The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Saturday issued a formal order and said that Mumbai falls under 'Level 3' of Maharashtra government's unlocking plan as it has 5.56 per cent positivity rate and 32.51 per cent oxygen bed occupancy.
This came after the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) late on Friday night announced a five-level plan to relax the coronavirus-induced restrictions in the state, based on the weekly positivity rate and the occupancy of oxygen beds.
According to the Maharashtra government's 'Level 3' guidelines, several relaxations have been given to the general public. In Mumbai, all passengers have been permitted to travel by BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport) buses from tomorrow (Monday, June 7). However, number of passengers will not be more than the number of seats i.e. no standing passengers will be allowed.
"Bus services for general public will resume in Mumbai tomorrow. Number of passengers will not be more than the number of seats on any bus. Wearing of face mask will be mandatory," said BEST on Sunday.
