BMC relaxes Mumbai lockdown rules: Restaurants allowed to stay open till 4 pm on all days
Mumbai’s civic body – the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) – announced on August 2 that restaurants in the city will be allowed to stay open till 4 pm on all days of the week, reported News18. Earlier, restaurants and eateries were only allowed to operate their take-away food section on weekends -- that is Saturdays and Sundays -- and could offer dine-in facilities with a limited seating capacity till 4 pm only on weekdays.

The lockdown rules in  Mumbai were only relaxed after the Maharashtra government allowed concerned authorities to dial down COVID-19 restrictions in the city. The current lockdown rules in Mumbai were relaxed after an order from the Maharashtra government stated that the decision on reducing the currently imposed COVID-19 restrictions in Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban, and Thane districts will have to be taken by the Disaster Management Authorities of the respective districts.

While as per the BMC notification, all non-essential shops in Mumbai will be allowed to operate till 10 pm daily and most indoor and outdoor activities have been allowed save sports where social distancing is not possible, the Mumbai civic authority has not allowed malls in the city to reopen. The Mumbai lockdown rule relaxations come at a time when there are 4,744 active coronavirus cases in the city. Mumbai’s COVID-19 recovery state now stands at 97 percent and the city added 259 fresh infections on August 2.

China's Wuhan to test 'all residents' as Covid returns

Authorities in Wuhan on Tuesday said they would test its entire population for Covid-19 after the central Chinese city where the coronavirus emerged reported its first local infections in more than a year.

The city of 11 million is "swiftly launching comprehensive nucleic acid testing of all residents", senior Wuhan official Li Tao said at a press conference on Tuesday.

Authorities announced on Monday that seven locally transmitted infections had been found among migrant workers in the city, breaking a year-long streak without domestic cases after it squashed an initial outbreak with an unprecedented lockdown in early 2020.

China has confined the residents of entire cities to their homes, cut domestic transport links and rolled out mass testing in recent days as it battles its largest coronavirus outbreak in months.

China reported 61 domestic cases on Tuesday as an outbreak of the fast-spreading Delta variant reached dozens of cities after infections among airport cleaners in Nanjing sparked a chain of cases that have been reported across the country.
