Ludhiana, March 15
During a meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan here today to review the Covid-19 situation in the state, it was decided to depute Covid monitors at marriage palaces, hotels and restaurants in the state.
The DCs have been asked to issue orders in their respective districts to maintain CCTV footage of marriage palaces and eateries for at least 15 days. “Any violation will lead to a strict action,” said Hussan Lal, Principal Secretary, Health and Family Welfare, here today.
The Covid monitors will be responsible for ensuring wearing of masks, social distancing and maintenance of hygiene at gatherings. The number of people has been restricted to 100 for indoor events and 200 for outdoor gatherings.
“The district administrations have been asked to ensure enforcement of guidelines in containment and micro-containment zones, and penalise the violators,” said the Chief Secretary. — TNS
