However, Ms Pednekar added a warning note and urged people not to let the guard down prevent another spike in cases. “It is essential for people to wear masks and follow social distancing,” she said.

This comes after the maximum city’s Covid case count, which saw a jump during the third wave of the pandemic, continues to fall for the past one week, with the city reporting 356 cases in yesterday’s bulletin.

Earlier, 536 and 643 cases were reported daily in the city in bulletins issued on Sunday and Saturday respectively.

The Mumbai civic body’s move to ease the Covid restrictions comes after the Maharashtra government relaxed 11 districts where cases had come down.

Night curfew was lifted and restaurants were allowed to operate at 50% capacity. The civic body had also allowed amusement parks and swimming pools to open at 50% capacity.
