Amid the grim Covid situation in Delhi and its neighbouring districts, and apprehensions of a second wave in Punjab, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday ordered a series of fresh restrictions, including night curfew. He has also told private hospitals to take stock of bed availability amid patient inflow from Delhi, and immediately appoint more doctors and nurses to meet future needs.
Punjab has re-imposed night curfew between 10 pm and 5 am in all its cities and towns starting December 1. “Hotels, restaurants and marriage venues will shut down at 9.30 pm,” Mr Singh said.
With this, Punjab has become the sixth state to impose a night curfew because of a fresh infection spike after Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh.
The fine for not wearing masks and social distancing in public places has also been doubled to ₹ 1,000, a government spokesperson said after a high-level state Covid review meeting.
