The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the Maharashtra government if it was willing to withdraw the ban it had put on unvaccinated people from travelling on local trains in Mumbai.
Meanwhile, the state cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is expected to take a decision on lifting COVID 19 restrictions in the wake of falling cases in Maharashtra.
Amid falling COVID-19 cases, Maharashtra will be unlocked with the lifting of present restrictions from March onwards. This was indicated by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar after attending the Shiv Jayanti celebrations on Saturday at the Shivneri Fort in Pune district.
Even though the daily COVID-19 cases are below 5,000 since the last three days, the weekly positivity rate in 21 districts still continues to be higher than the weekly state average of 3.99% as on February 15.
