India announces major relaxation of coronavirus lockdown
NEW DELHI — India announces a major relaxation of the world’s biggest coronavirus lockdown from early June, except for so-called containment zones with high numbers of infections.
A home ministry order says that places of religious worship, hotels, restaurants and shopping malls “will be allowed” to operate from June 8, while educational establishments will be opened “after consultations” with Indian state authorities.
The announcement comes even after the world’s second-most populous country announced another record daily rise in infections, taking the total to more than 85,000 cases with almost 5,000 deaths.
