With new Covid cases dipping and hospitalisation due to Covid at 2 per cent, Karnataka has decided to lift night curfew Monday. Schools and colleges in Bengaluru will reopen as well, the state government said Saturday.
“From Monday, all classes will be operational in schools with the strict implementation of Covid-19 appropriate behaviour and protocol,” said Karnataka Education Minister BC Nagesh, after a meeting on the Covid situation in the state, headed by Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai.
Government offices will run at full capacity, instead of 50 per cent. Hotels, restaurants, clubs, pubs and bars have also been allowed to function with full capacity, according to the new guidelines.
However, the 50 per cent capacity rule would continue in theatres, auditoriums and multiplexes. Gyms and swimming pools too can operate with 50 per cent capacity.
The Metro rail and other public transport will run at their sitting capacity.
Strict vigil at borders with Kerala, Maharashtra and Goa will continue.
