The Delhi High Court Vacation Division bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Asha Menon takes suo motu cognizance on various images of marketplaces circulated on WhatsApp where people were not wearing masks and not following Covid-19 protocols.
The Delhi High Court on Wednesday held that it is compulsory to wear a mask even if a person is driving alone in the car in view of the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic.
The Supreme Court has overturned a Gujarat High Court order which said that those not wearing masks be sent for community service. The apex court said that this could be a possible source of health problems.
With the pandemic continuing to surge and people walking around unmasked, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has decided to file FIRs under Section 188 of the IPC. Will this curb such callous behaviour?
With the festival season nearing and cinemas and restaurants opening up, the next cycle of the pandemic could be upon us. Just one super-spreader in a large gathering can trigger an explosion of new cases.
New Delhi (ILNS): The Allahabad High Court has directed the state government to prescribe quality standards for manufacturing masks and sanitisers as per the directives of Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR).
India is currently in the midst of Unlock 5.0. While a short lockdown may curtail Covid cases, implementing it without adhering to correct and consistent use of masks would be counter-productive.
