Home deliveries are allowed till 10 pm, the state government said.
Religious places can open with 21 people at a time. No more than 21 people can attend weddings and funerals. Wedding processions will remain banned.

"For a safe Haryana, the state government has extended the restrictions to control the coronavirus pandemic till June 14. Now shops can open on an odd-even basis from 9 am to 6 pm and malls can open from 10 am to 8 pm," Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar tweeted in Hindi.
Many parts of Haryana had witnessed shortages of hospital beds and essential supplies as the second wave of the pandemic ravaged the state, along with other parts of the country.
However, many states, including the worst-hit Maharashtra and Delhi, have been opening up their economies gradually.
