Hotels, restaurants, gyms open as Sikkim eases COVID-19 restrictions
A notification issued by Chief Secretary S C Gupta on Tuesday said hotels and restaurants would be allowed to open with 50 per cent capacity.
Restaurants have been given the approval to remain open till 8 pm. The gyms opened at 7 am on the condition that they would have only 50 per cent occupancy at any given time and must be closed at 6 pm.
The shops will remain open for an hour longer, that is, from 8 am to 6 pm, but the vehicular movement will remain shut from 9 pm to 7 am in the state, the notification said.
Inter-district movement of people and vehicles will resume from June 18 by following the odd-even rule, while the inter-state movement of goods will be allowed for all vehicles, except light transport vehicles.
The relaxations were announced despite the state being hit by the COVID-19 pandemic with 13 positive cases so far.
Three of the patients have recovered and the remaining 10 people are undergoing treatment at the STNM Hospital.
