As the number of coronavirus cases in Mahrashtra had crossed 1,000, the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) made wearing face masks mandatory in public places.

Mumbai is the first city in India to make masks compulsory. "All person must wear a three-ply mask or a cloth mask in public places such as streets, hospitals, offices and markets," Praveen Pardeshi, Mumbai Municipal Commissioner said in a letter.

These masks can be the standard ones available at medical outlets. People can even wear home-made masks which are washable and can be reused.

Face masks are mandatory for anyone even if the person is moving around in a vehicle. None will attend any meeting or gathering without wearing mask, said Pardeshi.
