Amid the declining cases of COVID-19 in the Maharashtra, the state government, on Wednesday, decided to allow malls, restaurants, bars, hotels, gymnasiums, salons, beauty parlours, and all shops to remain open till 10 pm.
This important decision was taken by the Maharashtra gov. after accepting the recommendations of the Maharashtra COVID-19 task force, in a meeting led by Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Under the revised rules, though the 50 per cent condition is retained for restaurants dine-in, parcel delivery is allowed for 24 hours.
