With the government asking people to stay indoors and step out only in case of an emergency, many weekend spots in the city saw a low turnout on Saturday.

Juhu Beach, one of the most popular haunts during the weekend, saw only pockets of visitors. Sanjay Gupta, a gola and falooda seller, who carried out business wearing a mask, said, "The crowd is just 20 per cent of what we notice every weekend. People are taking precautions."
