Amidst the ongoing pandemic, the Indian government has announced new guidelines for Unlock 5.0, allowing cinemas, theatres, and multiplexes to reopen with 50% seating capacity starting from October 15. This decision comes as a relief for the entertainment industry which has been severely impacted by the lockdown. However, strict SOPs will be in place to ensure the safety of the audience, including mandatory wearing of masks, thermal screening, and physical distancing. Additionally, states have been given the flexibility to take a decision on reopening schools, colleges, and coaching institutions after October 15. The government has also permitted social, religious, sports, entertainment, academic, cultural, religious, and political gatherings with a maximum of 100 people from October 15. These relaxations are part of the government’s efforts to gradually reopen the economy while continuing to contain the spread of the virus. As the country navigates through these challenging times, it is crucial for citizens to adhere to the guidelines and protocols set by the authorities to ensure their safety and well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
