Mumbai Mayor Kishori Pednekar on Tuesday said a third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic had already arrived, only to issue a clarification a few hours later.

"Third wave is not coming, it is already here," she told reporters at a function.

"In Nagpur, it has been already announced and everyone should take care," she said. Later, her office issued a press statement saying what she meant was that the third wave of Covid-19 was on the "threshold of Mumbai".
