Lockdown may be extended, but with relaxation for industries
The Hindu
They are likely to be allowed to function with 50% staff strength
Lockdown restrictions are likely be extended by at least another week after June 7 when the presently imposed restrictions will come to an end, in line with recommendations of the State’s COVID-19 Technical advisory Committee. However, the State government is expected to relax restrictions and allow all industries and construction sectors to resume work from June 7, a member of the COVID-19 task force said. Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa, who chaired two COVID-19 review meetings on Wednesday, also hinted the same. He said that the government would call on extending the lockdown and other stringent measures shortly, and added that “export oriented industrial units will be allowed to function with 50% staff strength from June 3”. Chief Secretary P. Ravi Kumar issued an order to this effect later in the day.More Related News
