Kerala amps up containment strategy
The state’s Disaster Management Department issued a fresh order on April 26 that brings down ‘tougher restrictions’ on residents while avoiding a negative impact on economic activities and livelihoods.

Under the new rules, cinema halls, malls, gyms, clubs, sports complexes, swimming pools, entertainment parks and bars will remain shut. Shops and restaurants will close by 7.30 pm but takeaway/delivery will be allowed till 9 pm.
All meetings (private and government) must be held online, and all social, religious, political and cultural gatherings have been prohibited. Essential and emergency services will be permitted on Saturdays and Sundays, with Saturdays being a holiday for all government/quasi-government/public sector undertaking offices.
