The covid-19 cases in Mumbai have come down from a few days and the city is reporting around five thousand cases per day. However, a message is getting circulated on social media where its reads that from May 1 BMC has allowed stationery shops have been allowed to remain open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am to 3 pm; shoes and garments shops are allowed to remain open on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 am to 3 pm; general stores are allowed to remain open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 am to 3 pm.
Meanwhile, the BMC has clarified that this message is fake. “This image, making rounds on social media, is FAKE. BMC has issued NO such guidelines,” the Mumbai civic body said in a tweet. “All lockdown guidelines issued by state govt will remain in effect. We request citizens to NOT believe in rumours & urge them to NOT forward such FAKE information,” it added.
