It’s that time of the year. Mumbai, India’s financial capital, is getting ready to welcome its favourite God – Lord Ganpati. With the Ganeshotsav beginning from tomorrow, the Maximum City will see more movement of people. While the BMC has issued new Covid guidelines for the Ganesh pandals and restricted the numbers of devotees participating in ‘shobha yatras’, the health experts are worried about the consistent increase in the new Covid cases in the city. If we look at the daily caseload, Mumbai crossed the 500-mark on Wednesday with 532 coronavirus infections. This is the first time since July 15 that the city has seen more than 500 cases in a day. There has also been a slight increase in the test positivity rate in Maharashtra.
