NEW DELHI: The Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) on Monday suspended dine-in facilities at restaurants and closed bars in view of the rising Covid cases in the city, but decided against imposing a full lockdown yet again. A DDMA meeting, chaired by Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and attended by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, also discussed ways to strictly enforce existing restrictions to check the rising cases of the Coronavirus and its Omicron variant.
“In view of the increase in positive cases, it was decided to close the restaurants and bars and to allow ‘take away’ facility only. It was also decided to allow operation of only one weekly market per day per zone,” Baijal said in a tweet.
Significantly, the DDMA is yet to issue the formal order on increasing Covid restrictions to this level. However, officials have maintained that the health infrastructure in the city is in a good enough position to not have to impose a full-fledged lockdown. Kejriwal had said on Sunday that further restrictions will be very calculated and only imposed if absolutely needed so that livelihoods can be protected.
