Positivity rate dips down to 2.67%
According to the health department, the positivity rate in Indore has dipped down to 2.67% in the month of June and with such improvements, it is expected that curfew will be lifted in the coming two months. The Crisis Management Group held a meeting on Sunday to discuss this issue.
It is expected that private offices will be allowed to open under a capped limit and other economic transaction-related activities will also be allowed to function, under certain restrictions.

Grocery and milk shops are allowed to function between 6 AM and 8 PM and general stores can stay open from 6 AM to 6 PM. Apart from these changes, the timings for night curfew have also been reviewed, as it will be applicable from 11.30 PM to 6 AM now. However, the weekend lockdown will be enforced from 10 PM on Fridays to 6 AM on Mondays.
