New Delhi: As per the Maharashtra government's announcement about the 'five-level plan' to relax the restrictions in the state, the financial capital Mumbai has started gradually re-opening on Monday (June 7, 2021).

The 'five-level plan' has allowed districts to re-open as per the weekly positivity rate and the occupancy of oxygen beds in a particular administrative unit. 

Areas with an infection positivity rate of five per cent or less and oxygen bed occupancy of less than 25 per cent are in the first category and can open up completely. On the other hand, areas with a positivity rate of more than 20 per cent fall under the fifth category and in such areas, only essential shops can open and office attendance is capped at 15 per cent.

Accordingly, Mumbai is currently in level 3 and has 16,070 active COVID-19 cases.
