While undertaking a review of Mumbai’s Covid-19 preparedness on Monday, Aaditya Thackeray, state minister for environment, tourism and protocol, asked Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials to have QR Codes to identify buildings with fully vaccinated residents/ occupants.

He asked the BMC to create a special logo with a QR code that could be displayed at the entry gates of residential and commercial buildings. In the review meeting which had Collector Mumbai Suburban, Nidhi Choudhary, Suresh Kakani, additional municipal commissioner and deputy municipal commissioners of Mumbai, Thackeray said these QR Codes would help in verifying that residents of housing societies and occupants of buildings and offices are fully-vaccinated. He also emphasised the need to increase vaccination and control vector borne diseases in the city.
