West Bengal: Covid vaccination certificates mandatory to enter parks but not hotels, malls

According to West Bengal’s latest Covid lockdown guidelines, it is mandatory to show a vaccination certificate to enter parks in the state. However, this is not the case for hotels and malls.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday extended the Covid lockdown in the state till July 1. However, she announced some relaxations to the curbs. One such relaxation is that parks have been permitted to open for three hours in the morning. However, those who want to enter will have to show proof of having taken two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine. The government notification reads, “Parks may remain open for morning walks, physical exercise etc from 6 am to 9 am and only vaccinated people shall be allowed.”
