New Delhi:
On Wednesday, Union Ministry has stated that theatres and multiplexes are
permitted to open at a limited capacity of 50% starting from October 15th.

as entertainment parks, swimming pools are also permitted to be opened with
guidelines to expect from the relevant ministry. Indian government has given

and coaching institutes.
Since the
pandemic began in March, several types of establishments have had been closed
shut after Indian government imposed lockdown which brought the country to a
standstill. Governments around the world also had imposed lockdowns to curb the
spread of the deadly virus. India currently ranks second in terms of total
infections and third in casualties caused by the coronavirus.
Health
experts opined that closed spaces with little to nothing ventilation like theatres,
multiplexes, flights should be avoided. It is yet to be seen how the Indian
public will react to this new news of theatres and other establishments
re-opening while the country is still in throws of the pandemic.
