Prohibitory orders from December 16 to 31 come into play to contain infections
While no new case of Omicron was reported from Maharashtra on Thursday, the prohibitory orders issued earlier by the Mumbai police (from December 16 to New Year’s eve on December 31) to preclude the spread of the variant nonetheless came into play.
The Omicron tally of 32 cases stayed constant and 25 of them had already been discharged, said officials. Maharashtra has reported the highest number of Omicron cases in the country thus far, prompting vigilance and screening to be stepped up at the Mumbai international airport and the airports in Pune and Nagpur.
Mumbai has reported the highest number of cases (13) till date followed by Pimpri-Chinchwad in Pune (10).
