The Maharashtra government on Sunday extended restrictions in the state for 15 more days, saying that some of the curbs could be eased on the basis of the situation in the districts, reported NDTV.
In districts with under 10% of coronavirus positivity rate and with occupancy of under 40% of oxygen beds, all essential shops, which were open between 7 am and 11 am, will now be allowed to operate till 2 pm.
The decision to operate non-essential standalone stores will be taken by the local disaster management officials. Non-essential items will now be allowed to be delivered through e-commerce channels.
Private offices will be allowed to function with a restricted number of employees with Covid-appropriate behaviour. Most of the staff at these offices will be encouraged to work from home, reported The Indian Express.
“Around 15 districts have the daily positivity rate, which is higher than that of the entire state,” Maharashtra Health Minister Rajesh Tope said, according to the newspaper. “The situation in these districts needs to be brought under control, besides arranging sufficient beds for Covid patients.”
Maharashtra decided to extend the curbs after reviewing the Covid-19 situation in all districts.
