Mumbai: Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar on Tuesday said if the daily Covid cases here cross the 20,000-mark, a lockdown will be imposed in the city as per the Union government's rules. Talking to reporters at her office in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) headquarters, Pednekar suggested that citizens wear triple-layer masks while travelling in public buses and local trains. 

She also appealed to them to get vaccinated at the earliest and follow all COVID-19-related standard operating procedures (SOPs). Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray might address the citizens in a couple of days, she said. She said currently, only six Omicron patients are admitted in and all other persons infected by the new variant have been discharged.
