Delhi will enforce weekend lockdown as COVID-19 cases continue to rise under the shadow of the Omicron threat. The government has asked people not to panic as buses and metro trains will run at 100 per cent capacity, but with strict COVID-19 safety rules like social distancing and wearing masks as these modes of transport can turn into super-spreaders. As in night curfew, which is already in force, those engaged in essential services are exempted from any restriction. Government employees, except those in essential services, will be asked to work from home.
