Following the outbreak of Omicron, the new Coronavirus variant of concern in South Africa and other countries, the Maharashtra government on Saturday revised Covid-19 guidelines, making the vigilance stricter. The state has made the violation of CAB (Covid appropriate behaviour) punishable, even while allowing some more relaxations.

As per the rules, all public transport buses can be used only by fully-vaccinated people. Individuals visiting a shop, establishment, mall, or a social gathering, along with show performers, audience, crew and participants of ticketed and non-ticketed events held indoors or outdoors, should be fully vaccinated.
