According to the rules, a decision was made to reserve 25% of beds in private hospitals for Covid patients, and instructions were issued to assure good treatment for non-Covid patients. Weddings can have up to 200 people inside and 300 outside, and religious facilities can accommodate up to 50% of the population. Social, religious, and political rallies, dharnas, conferences, and protests, on the other hand, have been denied permission.
