Uttarakhand Limits Wedding Functions Outside Containment Zones To 200 Guests
Mumbai: The Uttarakhand government has capped marriage gatherings outside containment zones to 200 people amid rising COVID-19 cases in the state.
In a statement, Uttarakhand chief secretary Om Prakash said that weddings outside containment zones will have a gathering of 200 people, who will have to abide by Covid-19 appropriate behaviour.
However, Om Prakash said that since Covid-19 cases are increasing all over the country, the state will have to be proactive in preventing the spread of the virus and instructed all the District Magistrates to be thoroughly prepared to cope up with the situation.
The direction has come after the state imposed a night curfew in Dehradun from 10 pm to 5 am in the surge of coronavirus infections. The state cabinet decided to shut schools for classes 1 to 12 in Dehradun, Haldwani, and Haridwar till 30 April.
Meanwhile, Uttarakhand Monday reported a big spike of 1,334 Covid-19 cases, taking the cumulative caseload to 11,01,46.
