Delhi, which had imposed lockdown-like restrictions in April, began the process of unlocking on June 7.
Shops in malls, markets and market complexes were opened with restrictions of odd-even timings, while the standalone shops and neighborhood shops are allowed to open between 10am to 8pm.
As Delhi continues to unlock, health experts have advised all Covid rules be strictly adhered to as the threat of an impending third Covid wave looms.
Yesterday, the Delhi High Court took note of the violations of Covid protocols in the markets of the national capital following the massive easing of restrictions this week and warned that breach of Covid rules will only hasten the third wave. The national capital was put under a lockdown on April 19.
