Weekend curfew in Delhi; malls, restaurants shut, says Kejriwal

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced a weekend curfew in the national capital. The decision was taken after a meeting with Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal earlier in the day, the CM said. Kejriwal also announced that restaurants, malls, gyms, spas, etc., will remain shut in Delhi, which has witnessed a record rise in the number of coronavirus infections in the past week.

Details
Infections rising every day, says Kejriwal

Kejriwal said, "We are now seeing that infections are rising every day. To control this situation, the Delhi government has taken a few measures." "We held a meeting with the L-G today and it was decided that a weekend curfew will be enforced." During the weekend, people usually go out for entertainment activities, which can be curtailed, he said.

Information
Curfew passes will be allowed for certain reasons

Curfew passes will be issued to allow essential services to continue over the weekend. Kejriwal said those who have their wedding dates fixed, those who wish to go to the airport or a hospital will also be issued curfew passes.

Other restrictions
Malls, gyms, shut; restaurants open only for take-aways

Malls, gyms, spas, and auditorium have now been shut, Kejriwal said. Cinema halls can function with 30% seating capacity. One weekly market per day per zone will be allowed to operate. Special restrictions will be announced in this regard later. Restaurants will be shut, but takeaways will be allowed. For markets and public places, enforcement of COVID-19 appropriate behavior will be made stricter.

Hospital beds
No shortage of hospital beds in Delhi: Kejriwal

"I would request you all to not insist that you want to be admitted to a specific hospital," Kejriwal said, adding that there is no shortage of hospital beds in Delhi. "Just because some hospitals do not have beds available, that does not mean this is a problem across Delhi," he said, adding that over 5,000 beds are available in Delhi.

Information
Efforts on to expand number of hospital beds: Kejriwal

Kejriwal further said that efforts are on to expand the number of hospital beds in the national capital. The Delhi government has attached hotels and banquet halls to 23 private hospitals to increase their capacity, he had announced on Wednesday.
