The railways on Monday said that there was no proposal or plans to rollback public access to Mumbai local train services, but given the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases, promised to step up vigilance protocols of sanitisation of trains and touch points at stations. Also, there will not be any relaxation in the time restrictions on access to local trains.

While 503 cases were detected in the city on February 3 (three days after the resumption of local trains), 550 and 510 people tested positive for the deadly virus on February 10 and 11 respectively.
