- Masks have to be worn in the car too
As per the order passed by Justice Pratibha Singh, it will no longer be mandatory for every person in Delhi to wear a mask. Even if a person is traveling alone in a car, that person will still have to wear a mask. The court said that even if a person is traveling in any vehicle, it is a public place, so the mask is mandatory even there.
The Delhi government had made it mandatory to wear a mask while driving from April. Four petitions were filed in the Delhi High Court against the government’s decision. The government’s decision was challenged, saying it was unfair to impose fines even when traveling alone in a private vehicle. All the four petitions have been dismissed by the Delhi High Court today.In the last few days, the situation of corona infection in the capital Delhi seems to be getting out of control. A total of 5,100 crore infected patients were found in Delhi on Tuesday. This is the highest figure in the last six months. That is why strict restrictions have been imposed in Delhi.
The Delhi government has imposed a night curfew from 10.00 pm to 5.00 am till April 30. It has also been announced that the corona vaccination campaign will continue for 24 hours. E-passes will be required on the Delhi government’s website for the vaccination campaign as well as those providing essential services to get relief from the restrictions. These include government officials related to patients, disaster relief, police, civil protection, fire service, district administration, accounting, power department, water and sanitation as well as air-rail-bus, Delhi government officials and all employees of autonomous bodies and corporations.
