Worshippers wore masks, stood 6 feet part and went through thermal scanners at Hindu temples in India’s capital city Delhi and elsewhere as places of worship reopened
The chief minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, had said the city would soon run out of beds if COVID-19 patients kept coming from across India to its hospitals, drawing criticism that he was being unethical.
Delhi lieutenant governor Anil Baijal, who represents the federal government, said denying treatment simply because someone was not a resident of the capital would be legally impermissible. Delhi has also stopped hotels from reopening as it might want to convert them into temporary hospitals if there is a big jump in cases. Health experts say India’s peak could still be weeks away, if not months.
Worshippers wore masks, stood 6 feet part and went through thermal scanners at Hindu temples in the capital city and elsewhere in the country as they re-opened.“We are allowing only a small number of devotees inside the temple at one time. We have drawn circles where they need to stand to ensure proper distancing of at least 6 feet,” said Harsh Vyas of an ISKCON temple in the western city of Ahmedabad.
