Guwahati: The weekend curfew in Delhi has been lifted, market odd-even limitations have been removed, and restaurants and cinemas can operate at 50% capacity, the government announced today, as Covid cases in the capital decrease.
Schools and universities will be closed for now.
At a meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), which included the Delhi government and Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, the decision to lift restrictions imposed during the Omicron surge was made.
Cinemas, restaurants, and bars can all run at half-capacity. Wedding guest numbers have been increased from 20 to 200.
Even though there will be no weekend curfew, the night curfew of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. will remain in effect.
Government offices have also been given permission to reopen with only half of their employees.
Despite Delhi’s Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia’s concerns about the prolonged school shutdown harming children’s academic and mental health, no resolution was reached at today’s meeting on schools.
Sisodia had stated the Delhi administration would suggest reopening schools because it was “essential to prevent further damage to children’s social and emotional well-being.” He also stated that a big majority of parents were in favour of it.
The number of cases and the rate of positive have both decreased in Delhi.
