The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on Saturday announced that people traveling together in private vehicles not wearing a mask will not be penalized from 28 February, Monday.
On Friday, the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA), chaired by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and attended by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, decided to withdraw all restrictions from Monday, reduce the fine for not wearing masks from Rs 2,000 to Rs 500 and resume physical classes in Delhi schools from April 1.
Baijal had tweeted after the meeting on Friday that the government is ensuring observance of Covid-appropriate Behaviour, including wearing masks and maintaining social distancing.
The restrictions were put in place in December last year after cases of Covid-19 saw a rapid surge in the capital.
The Home Ministry has asked states and Union Territories to consider relaxing Covid curbs for social, sports, entertainment, academic and religious events as well as night curfew hours.
However, some restrictions are still in place, including the permission of more than one weekly market in a municipal zone.
The cap of 200 persons at weddings and the ban on the entry of visitors to religious places have not been lifted.
