Cinema halls to operate at a higher seating capacity, revised SOPs to be issued soon

The Ministry of Home Affairs has issued fresh Covid-19 guidelines, allowing activities outside containment zones. The Home Ministry has mandated states and Union Territories (UT) to continue to enforce Covid containment measures and SOPs on various activities and ensure Covid-appropriate behaviour.

The guidelines issued by Home Ministry for surveillance, containment and caution, will be effective from February 1 till February 28.

As per the guidelines, the main focus is to consolidate the substantial gains that have been achieved against the spread of Covid-19 which is visible in the steady decline in number of active and new cases in the country over the last four months.
