Mumbai: Is minimum social distancing even possible in Maximum City?
As Mumbaikars eagerly anticipate unlocking orders expected on the 1
st of June, the sharp realisation that stares us in the face after this most lethal second Covid wave is that greater freedom will come with much greater responsibility on the part of us citizens.
Another alarm call that this pandemic has set off, that cannot be put on snooze mode anymore, is the need to invest in public health in Mumbai, which is different from health care and encompasses housing, sanitation and open spaces. This is a long term measure but crucial for successful social distancing.
