The threat of COVID-19 is yet to go as countries such as China, the US, Japan and South Korea are again witnessing a surge. While Mumbai has been reporting cases in single digits, experts said that thermal screening and rapid tests should be started at airports. “The number of tests must go up and we should rethink masking and following other COVID-appropriate behaviours,” said Dr Kedar Toraskar, member of the state COVID task force, adding that there was no need for a panic yet. 

As this is the holiday season, the officials clarified that there are no restrictions in the gathering of people and travel, since COVID-19 is under control in the city as well as across the state.
