Giving further relaxations in COVID-19 restrictions in the national capital, the Delhi Government on Sunday allowed bars to operate with 50 per cent and also permitted the reopening of public parks, gardens and golf clubs. The relaxations will remain in force till 5 am on June 28.

According to an order issued by the Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA):

Earlier, on June 13, the Delhi Government had announced to ease the lockdown restrictions with all shops allowed to open simultaneously in all markets and malls. Restaurants were allowed to open at 50 per cent seating capacity, while Delhi Metro and buses were permitted to operate at 50 per cent capacity.

The lockdown was imposed in the national capital on April 19. The process of gradual reopening of activities began from May 31 after a significant and consistent decline in a number of cases for several days.

Meanwhile, Delhi reported 135 fresh cases of COVID-19, 201 patient recoveries and seven deaths in the past 24 hours, said the Delhi Health Department on Saturday. With this, the total cases in the capital mounted to 14,32,168 including 2,372 active cases and 14,04,889 total recoveries.

The death toll, however, surged to 24,907 including the new deaths. As a sign of relief, Delhi logged seven COVID-19 deaths in the last 24 hours. On March 4, Delhi registered four COVID deaths. Since then, this is the lowest COVID death count.
