Safety Protocols  

Museums in Kolkata will open today (November 10) after a seven-month closure due to the COVID pandemic. The museums will reopen in new-normal times and amid strict safety protocols by the Ministry of Culture to check the spread of COVID-19. Following the guidelines issued by the government, the museums will have to comply with four-point protocols after the reopening.

Commissioner of School Education V Chinna Veerabhadrudu said the figure is not alarming when compared to the number of students attending the schools, though every care is being taken to ensure COVID-19 safety protocols are in place in every institution.

The barometer is considered among the world's largest and most comprehensive tools to monitor traveller health and safety protocols.
 

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her dismay over a petition filed on Wednesday (October 14) by advocate Sabyasachi Chatterjee in the Calcutta High Court to restrict the scale of Durga puja celebrations to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chief minister said cancelling Durga puja celebrations was not an option, and urged people to maintain all Covid-19 safety protocols during the festive days.
