CM Udhhav Thackeray announced that those who have completed 14 days after their second dose of Covid-19 vaccine, can apply on a specially-created app for the railway pass and they can collect the same from their respective local ward offices.
In addition, analyses of PCR test results also suggest that fully vaccinated people may be less likely than unvaccinated people to pass the virus on to others. This is due to having a smaller viral load on average and therefore, likely spreading less virus.
There is one exception: France, which Britain has dubbed a higher risk because of the presence of the beta variant of the coronavirus.
