The new set of guidelines for lifting up restrictions of anti-coronavirus lockdown in the third phase would be effective in the country from Aug 1.
As a part of Unlock 3, the MHA has allowed yoga institutes and gymnasiums to reopen from Aug 5.
However, it has been decided that schools, colleges and coaching institutions will remain closed till Aug 31.
Large gatherings are still prohibited and hence, metro rail services, cinema halls, swimming pools, entertainment parks, theatres, bars, auditoriums, assembly halls and similar places will remain closed.
Social, political, sports, entertainment, academic, cultural, religious functions and other large congregations have also been prohibited in the new guideline.
