Mumbai| The restrictions have been made stricter once again in Maharashtra, which is facing the second wave of Coronavirus Pandemic. The civic authorities have imposed stricter rules in the State capital Mumbai, which is experiencing a maximum number of Coronavirus cases. BMC has released a new guideline, under which the corona test has been made mandatory for entry in any mall. This step has been taken because in the last month more than 31000 cases of coronavirus have been reported in Mumbai alone. Now the administration has intensified efforts once again.
The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday said that the rapid antigen test facility will start in all malls in Mumbai from 22 March.
If the people coming to the mall do not have a coronavirus negative report, then they can get the rapid anti-gen test done but there will be no entry in the mall without the test. For this, a team will be present at the entry gate of every mall.
