As the COVID situation in Himachal Pradesh has improved significantly, the state government on Monday announced easing of several coronavirus-induced restrictions in the state, including the reopening of all educational institutions, gyms and cinema halls. The new orders will be effective from February 17.
Here’s what’s allowed and what isn’t:
“From Thursday, all educational institutions will be allowed to function as per the normal schedule,” the order said.
All social/religious/cultural/political and other gatherings including weddings are allowed up to 50% both indoors and outdoors. However, there is a need to maintain COVID-appropriate behavior during such gatherings.
Gyms, swimming pools and cinema halls will be allowed to operate following COVID-appropriate behaviour.
There will be no restriction on religious langar.
Last week, the Himachal Pradesh government lifted the night curfew across the state.
The Himalayan state reported over 400 new Covid cases on Saturday, taking the number of infections to 2,80,106. It also reported four more deaths.
