The state government on Tuesday did not offer much relaxations in Mumbai, the COVID-19 red zone, for the fourth phase of the lockdown. However, it indicated that the city can expect some much-needed relief in the future, as it allowed shops, malls, establishments and industries to reopen for maintenance.

These infrastructures can open between 9 am and 5 pm for the upkeep of plant and machinery, and other inventories like furniture, etc, and for pre-monsoon protection of property and goods, according to the revised order issued by Chief Secretary Ajoy Mehta on Tuesday. The revised guidelines, which divided the regions across state into red zones, containment zones CZs and remaining areas, will come into force on May 22.
