Amid the current decline in daily Covid-19 cases across the city, the restrictions in Delhi have been eased by the Aam Aadmi Party government. From today onwards, several establishments and services will be made available to Delhi residents.
In the last meeting of the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), it was decided that the schools, colleges, and educational institutes in the national capital will be reopened from today. It has also been decided that the gyms and spas will be reopened in the city from February 7.
Before this, the Delhi government had decided to reopen the restaurants and eateries in the city for dine-in services at 50 percent capacity. The Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government had also decided to do away with the weekend curfew in Delhi last month.
DDMA, after its most recent meeting, also decided that the night curfew in the capital will remain in place for now, though the timings have been relaxed by one hour. The revised night curfew timings in Delhi are 11 pm to 5 am.
