Amid a recent surge in COVID-19 cases, the Uttarakhand government on Friday announced a slew of restrictions to combat the further spread of the deadly infection.

Uttarakhand chief secretary Om Prakash announced that public transport such as buses, auto-rickshaw, etc shall operate with no more than 50 percent of their total sitting capacity. The same 50 percent occupancy rule will be applied to gymnasiums across the state.
