The Gujarat government on Monday relaxed a Covid-19 restriction related to wedding functions in open spaces and allowed 200 guests in place of the earlier limit of 100, officials said.
A Gujarat government release said the decision was taken by Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and will be applicable from November 3. However, guests will have to follow the other Covid-19 protocols strictly.
It said guests must wear masks and follow all norms, including social distancing, in place to contain the Covid-19 outbreak while attending such gatherings. The upper limit for guests at functions held in closed spaces like halls will be 50 percent of capacity, the release said. “In the case of a closed hall, the upper limit of people will be 50 per cent of the hall’s total capacity with a cap of maximum 200 persons,” said the official release.
This relaxation in the rules by the state government will be a welcome relief to the families which were, hitherto, forced not to invite many of their relatives to the wedding ceremonies.
