The DDMA, on December 29, said that it would continue the restrictions imposed under the `yellow` alert. Under the yellow alert, the night curfew is imposed from 10 PM till 5 AM in the morning.

Public transport, like buses and Delhi Metro, runs with 50 per cent seating capacity and passengers are not allowed to travel standing up. While restaurants remain open with 50 per cent capacity from 8 am to 10 pm, bars continue with 50 per cent capacity from 12 noon to 10 pm.

Meanwhile, cinema halls, multiplexes, banquet halls and auditoriums remain closed, whereas salons and beauty parlours function as usual. In addition to that, only 20 people are allowed to attend wedding ceremonies and funerals.

Schools, colleges, educational institutions, and coaching institutes remain closed. Private offices are permitted to function with 50 per cent capacity from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

While, the yellow alert should be followed by amber, but Delhi`s positivity rate has crossed 5 per cent - the mark set for imposition of red alert in the capital. In either of the alerts, the already existing restrictions will be strengthened with a few places, activities being completely banned under the level 2 (amber) restrictions and a complete lockdown in level 4 (red).
