If you happen to be passing through 14th road in Khar West, adjoining Linking Road, a 200 square-feet store, which earlier used to be a salon—but now has a newly minted board that reads 'Corona Store' with the kicker 'Prevention Is The New Normal'—is likely to catch your eye. Opened for business about a week ago, it is probably the city's first standalone shop where people can purchase all their Coronavirus-related prevention equipment such as masks, PPE kits, sanitisers as well as personalised kits that can be used on a daily basis.

Store owner Sooraj Lalchandani, 34, says the idea is to allow people the convenience of shopping for disinfectants, sanitiser stands, gloves and masks under one roof. And allow for customisation and variety to make room for fashion choices.
