Rajasthan: Curfew extended to May 17; marriage guests restricted to 31 people | Jaipur News
JAIPUR: The state government extended the ‘Self Discipline Fortnight’ on Friday from May 3 (5am, Monday) to May 17 (5am, Monday) in view of the continuous surge in Covid-19 cases in the state. The government has also renamed the ‘fortnight’ as ‘Epidemic Red Alert-Self Discipline Fortnight’. The decision was taken at a virtual review meeting held late on Friday.
As per the order issued by principal secretary (home) Abhay Kumar, the number of guests for marriages has been reduced to 31 from 50 and a penalty of Rs 1 lakh will be levied for violating the rule. A guest list will have to be submitted to the SDM. Videography will be conducted in marriage ceremonies. To control unnecessary movement of people, it was also decided to put violators under institutional quarantine. They will not be released until an RT-PCR report confirms they are negative.
These severe measures have been taken considering the 21% positivity rate and 90-95% occupancy of oxygen and ICU beds in the state.
