As Covid-19 cases continues to show a downward trend in Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar informed that the government is planning to grant exemptions for fully vaccinated people in the state.
Pawar also said that the government is planning to extend the timings of shops and restaurants beyond the current deadline of 4 pm. A decision regarding this is likely to be announced next week.
"The state is thinking of granting relaxations to those people who have got both doses of Covid-19 vaccine. This will encourage citizens to get inoculated" said Pawar.
"We are thinking of extending the timing for shops and restaurants but the final decision will be taken by the CM. We are meeting with experts on Monday after which a decision will be taken on relaxations on weekends" added Pawar.
