As of February 15, Rajasthan is actively nursing about 17,976 patients, significantly lower than 18,982 patient-log on Monday. Buoyed by this respite, the government has ordered to suspend all existing COVID-19 restrictions across the state.

However, in a set of revised guidelines, the state has directed all functioning offices to share a list of their employees' vaccination status. Punitive action will be taken against all those organisations that fail to comply, read reports.
