Health Minister Ma. Subramanian on Tuesday reiterated that not one of the COVID-19 norms of masking, hand hygiene and bodily distancing, which had been introduced in almost two years in the past, had been relaxed or lifted until now.

“Presently, there are no restrictions on New Year celebrations, religious festivals and political events. At the same time, we request that there should be self-restrictions… COVID-19 norms of masking, hand hygiene and maintaining physical distancing still exist. These norms which were brought in two years ago were not relaxed or lifted. These norms are required now. Whichever event is organised, these norms should be adhered to..” he mentioned in Chennai.
