Delhi saw a deluge of COVID-19 cases in the past two months. While many gasped for breath due to the lack of oxygen, many lost lives in this process. It took a strict lockdown for the cases in Delhi to come down from 25k to 1k daily. However, the national capital is now planning a gradual unlock. The process of lifting the lockdown gradually in Delhi started from May 31 with the resumption of construction activities and the reopening of factories. But here are the recent developments.

Delhi Restaurants Can Serve Liquor In Open Spaces
Delhi restaurants and pubs can soon serve liquor in open spaces, such as terraces, balconies, and spaces inside their premises. They can also have live music arrangements, such as performing bands, DJs, karaoke, and karaoke. The government also allowed microbreweries in the city to start takeaway services for draught beer and sell them directly to restaurants and pubs. The date of implementation of these rules will be announced shortly.

Delhi Government Allows Home Delivery Of Liquor
The Delhi government permitted home delivery of Indian and foreign liquor but only for orders placed through the website or mobile application. However, such online deliveries will only be allowed at residences. No delivery shall be made to hostels, offices, and institutions, according to the notification.

Delhi Will Have A Phase-Wise Unlocking Process
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had earlier said that he would begin the phase-wise unlocking process in Delhi after six weeks of lockdown given the second wave of COVID-19. While the CM now said that it is time to start the unlock process, he also stressed that one should not be complacent.

The Government Will Unlock Basis Expert Suggestions
“We have to maintain a balance between controlling the spread of COVID-19 and allowing economic activities. Keeping this in mind, it has been decided to open factories and allow construction activities for one week from Monday,” said Arvind Kejriwal in a press announcement. He also said that the government would unlock every week based on the situation and the suggestions of the experts.

E-Pass Mandatory To Travel Within Delhi
You will still need an e-pass to travel within Delhi. Workers, officials, and employees of manufacturing and production units will have to apply for an e-pass to move freely within the national capital. E-pass is also mandatory for bank employees and those going for vaccinations.

That said, the government will put the unlock process on hold if cases rise again. The positivity rate in the national capital dropped to 1.25% according to a health department bulletin.
