As per the new guidelines issued by the Home Department, all employees will be called in all government offices.

Also, the cap on guests at wedding ceremonies has been increased from 50 to 200.

Cinema halls, theatres, and multiplexes will be able to open at full capacity from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. but for only those vaccinated with at least one dose.

Restaurants are also allowed to open with full capacity from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Gyms, and yoga centres will be able to open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and swimming polls from September 20, but again only to those who have received at least one dose.
