    The Chhattisgarh government increased the amount of penalty for maskless people from Rs. 100 to Rs. 500 for strict implementation of COVID-19 guidelines, an official said on Friday. The state health and family welfare department on Thursday issued an order to this effect under the Epidemic Diseases Act, 1897 to contain the spread of the infection, a release by the public relations department said.

    "According to the order, now a penalty of Rs. 500 will be imposed if anyone is found not wearing a mask or face cover in public places. Earlier, the penalty was Rs. 100 for the violation," it said. The state government also appealed to people to strictly follow the guidelines, including physical distancing and washing hands, apart from the use of masks, it said.

Various other restrictions, including banning all kinds of religious, festive, cultural, and political programs and sports events, exhibitions and fairs till further orders, have also been announced.
