With the Covid-19 situation in India’s financial capital of Mumbai and elsewhere in Maharashtra soaring to a record high, the Uddhav Thackeray-government on Friday directed private offices to function at 50 per cent strength.
The manufacturing sector can function in full strength, however, the government advised to reduce staff strength on the production floor and ensure social distancing. The manufacturing sector can also alter the work timings.
The new set of guidelines was issued on Friday by Chief Secretary Sitaram Kunte.
The government also asked drama halls/auditoriums to function at 50 per cent strength. “There would be no entry without masks and temperature screening. Besides, sanitizers have to be kept at convenient locations,” the order said. The order will be in place till March 31.
