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 comes 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, travelling in local trains is restricted to medical, essential staff and women. However, the BMC in its guidelines have not permitted women to travel in Mumbai locals. In Mumbai, travel in local trains is permitted only for medical and essential services, the BMC said in its order.
