125 new cases have been filed in Delhi, and Xmas and New Year's gatherings have been banned: 10 points

 New Delhi: As the number of Omicron cases in the national capital continues to climb, the Delhi administration today prohibited all Christmas and New Year celebrations. On the same day, 125 new cases were reported in Delhi, the largest number in six months.


Here's a 10-point summary of the key storey:

1.       The legal limit for meetings in Delhi has yet to be defined by officials.

2.       All social, political, sporting, recreational, cultural, religious, and festival gatherings are prohibited. Meetings, conferences, weddings, and exhibits are the only events that Banquet Halls can accommodate, and that too with riders.

3.       Before the two major year-end celebrations, potential Covid superspreader sites are being identified. According to a Delhi Disaster Management Authority order, "all district magistrates shall conduct an intensive survey of the entire area falling under their jurisdiction and identify those pockets, colonies, markets, and crowded places that have the potential to become superspreaders of Coronavirus and its Omicron variant" (DDMA).

4.       Schools and colleges can operate if they follow SOP to the letter. Restaurants and bars will be permitted to open with only half of their normal seating capacity.

5.       Cinemas, theatres, and multiplexes can still seat 100% of their patrons, while auditoriums and assembly halls can only hold 50%. Exhibitions are also permitted.

6.       With up to 30 standing passengers per coach, the Delhi Metro can operate at full capacity. Buses can also use 100% seating, with standing passengers authorised to take up to 50% of the sitting capacity.

7.       Weddings and funerals are limited to 200 guests.

8.       Officials from the district administration and the Delhi police have been ordered to intensify enforcement to ensure that people adhere to social-distancing rules and wear masks. Officials from the district have been required to provide daily updates. Customers without masks will be denied admission, according to market trade associations.

9.       So far, 57 Omicron instances have been reported in Delhi, the most of any state or union territory in India. In India, 213 cases of the highly contagious Covid strain have been discovered.

10.   In response to indicators of an increase in infections from the new strain, the Centre has issued an alert advising governments to activate "war rooms" and reinstate restrictions, including night curfews, in order to contain it. It also provided a list of prevention and containment methods, such as comprehensive testing and collection regulation.
