Covid-19 continues to dig its claws deeper and deeper onto the world. Along with it, industries all around collapse lower than anyone could ever imagine. The Covid-19 numbers are at their peak, the highest to date. The urgency to impose restrictions was hastened after the state reported over 57,000 new cases, the highest since the pandemic came to the state last year. Lockdown 2.0. in Maharastra hits the common man in his gut and brings the entertainment industry to a curb.
The new lockdown is a bit different than the first one. While the government has levied a few things, it has completely shut down the recreational business. Before getting into the aftermath of lockdown 2.0. in Maharashtra, let us tell you the new guidelines.
Lockdown 2.0. in Maharashtra:
- 5th April 2021 to 30th April 2021, theatres, halls, multiplexes, auditoriums, clubs, video parlors, swimming pools, sports complexes, and water parks will be completely shut.
- Malls, Hotel & Restaurant will remain close too. Only take away & parcel service continue.
- Haircutting salons, beauty parlors, and spas would not be allowed to conduct business till April 30.
- Religious places will be shut for visitors.
- No restrictions on travel. Auto, Taxi, and buses. But restrictions on the passengers.
- Not more than 2 people can sit in an auto ricksha.
- Section 144 is imposed from 7 am to 8 pm. Not more than five people can stand together in one place.
- Complete lockdown on weekend.
- Night curfew continues.
With these new guidelines, the business that was starting to stand up once again after the hard fall from the first lockdown has fallen harder. Many shootings have been paused yet again. Serials have come to a hold. Earlier, after accepting many rules and restrictions from the government the sets had started its shooting again. However, the new surge in Covid cases demands a lockdown.
