The Punjab government has imposed a complete ban on indoor weddings and other social gatherings in districts with high disease prevalence in a bid to contain the spread of coronavirus.
The health department said in a notification issued late Sunday that only outdoor weddings will be allowed with maximum 300 guests under strict Covid-19 SOPs and “there shall be a complete ban on indoor weddings”.
It also banned indoor gatherings including cultural, musical /religious and other events. “However outdoor gatherings shall be allowed for maximum 300 individuals under strict Covid protocols,” it added.
The new orders will come into effect immediately, it added.
Earlier this month, the federal government revived several coronavirus-related strict restrictions as the ongoing fourth wave turned dangerous.
