As the COVID-19 situation in Madhya Pradesh is charting a continuous rise, the state has issued new guidelines to curb the infection surge in Indore, Bhopal and other districts crosswise. All offices and workspaces, including IT, BPO and mobile companies have been permitted to run operations at only 10% attendance. However, essential services have been exempted from this order.

Reportedly, only 2 passengers will be allowed to travel in auto-rickshaws and e-rickshaws while in private vehicles and taxis, 2 people along with a drive are allowed. The district authorities in Indore, Bhopal and Datai have also announced that no permissions will be granted to weddings till April 30 to avoid crowding and the rise of infection. The district collectors here have appealed to the people to postpone weddings and stay indoors.
