With fewer Covid-19 cases being reported in the national capital daily, the Delhi government has decided to ease restrictions, beginning with lifting of the weekend curfew.
Odd-even system applicable to shops in markets and malls will also be removed.
Private offices will also be allowed to function with 50 per cent capacity. The Delhi government had previously directed closure of all private offices, except those in exempted categories, amid rising number of Covid-19 cases in the city.
A proposal for the same has been approved by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal. The proposal has been sent to Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Anil Baijal for his nod.
Delhi on Thursday reported 12,306 fresh Covid-19 cases, down from 13,785 infections on Wednesday. In the span of 10 days, daily cases have gone down from a high of over 28,000. Hospitalisations are also down, Health Minister Satyendar Jain had said.
Last week, Jain had said the fifth Covid-19 wave in the national capital has peaked and caseloads are expected to fall going forwards. He had asserted that weekend curfew and preemptive restrictions helped in curbing the spread of the virus.
