With Covid-19 cases steadily falling, the Mumbai government on Tuesday decided to lift the night curfew and ease some other restrictions.
According to an order from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, restaurants and theaters can now be used again at 50 percent capacity.
“There must be no movement restrictions during the night hours from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.,” the order says.
“Beaches, gardens, parks remain open as usual, while amusement and theme parks remain operational at 50 percent operating capacity,” it said.
“Local tourist attractions remain open at normal times. Weekly bazaars are to remain open as usual,” the order said.
The civil body order also ordered weddings to be allowed to have guests up to 25 percent of the capacity of floor or banquet halls, or 200, whichever is lower.
In the revised guidelines for sporting events, the city body said that “only 25 percent spectators are allowed in competitive sports and other similar activities, including horse racing. This capacity is to be understood as the capacity of fixed chairs or seating arrangements. Standing and moving crowds are to be avoided.”
Mumbai on Sunday recorded 960 new Covid-19 cases and 11 deaths, bringing the total number of related deaths to 16,623. However, cases in Maharashtra and Mumbai have dropped significantly.
