After the night curfew is lifted, shops, restaurants, and other businesses can stay open until late at night.
The DDMA's most recent meeting, held on February 4th, decided to reopen schools, colleges, coaching institutes, and gyms. The night curfew was still in effect, although the hours were shortened by an hour, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Following the drop in COVID-19 cases, the Centre advised all states and union territories to consider reducing restrictions on sports, leisure, and academic activities, as well as the night curfew hours.
Ajay Bhalla, the union home secretary, wrote in a letter to the states and union territories, "With a substantial decline in case positivity and in the number of active cases in the country, states and UTs are reopening activities. In view of the overall improved situation, there is a need to follow a risk assessment-based approach on the opening of economic activities.”
On Thursday, Delhi recorded 556 new COVID-19 cases, six deaths, and a positive rate of 1.10 percent. There were also 618 recoveries in the national capital, bringing the total number of ongoing cases to 2,276.
The limits will be lifted until the national capital's positive rate, or the number of infections detected in every 100 tests, falls below 1%. Aside from that, the government will remain vigilant, and residents have been asked to observe COVID guidelines.
