As schools and colleges in Jaipur are expected to restart offline classes with 100% occupancy from Monday, the rise in the number of daily infections has become a cause of concern for all. Moreover, in line with the existing guidelines, the upcoming T20I cricket series between India and New Zealand scheduled on November 17 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is also allowed at 100% capacity.
