New Delhi: Fresh Covid-19 cases in the national capital remain low, so the Delhi government allowed religious places to reopen on Friday. Religious places in the city must however adhere to strict Covid-19 guidelines and standard operating procedures.
On Thursday, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) released new Covid-19 guidelines.
– DDMA order permits devotees to enter religious places, but prohibits large gatherings there.
– For over five months, since April 19, Delhi’s religious places have been closed to devotees following the imposition of a lockdown due to the severe second wave of COVID-19.
– In light of upcoming festivals, the DDMA also instructed district magistrates and deputy commissioners of police to ensure strict compliance with COVID-appropriate behavior.
