After the Mumbai local trains resumed for business for all the citizens after a 10-month shutdown period on February 1, the country's richest civic body said that the next 15 days will be crucial to understand the spread of COVID-19 following the development.

Speaking to Hindustan Times, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) additional commissioner Suresh Kakani said, "We feel that the next 15 days will be crucial and after that we will be in a position to comment whether the cases are going up due to local trains or not. We are keeping a tight watch on the daily cases and are also making preparations for the ongoing vaccination drive."
