Lockdown 3.0: Here's what is allowed in Delhi

Outlining the list of activities that will be allowed in Delhi during the third phase of government-mandated lockdown, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, call centres and IT services can remain open and weddings with 50 guests will be allowed in the national capital.

Urging citizens to adopt a changed approach towards the coronavirus, Arvind Kejriwal said "Time has come to re-open Delhi. We will have to be ready to live with coronavirus." Talking about the lockdown, he said it was necessary to contain COVID-19 and the city is now fully ready to relax lockdown restrictions. Assuring the citizens, the chief minister emphasised that Delhi government will implement all lockdown relaxations prescribed by home ministry.

Suggesting a phased removal of the lockdown, Kejriwal said Delhi is prepared to ease restrictions "in places other than containment zones". The reason, he said, is that Delhi is "prepared in terms of hospitals and kits".
