Moreover, metro services would begin operations from Monday with a 50% seating capacity. Also, standalone shops would be allowed to remain open on all days.

“When the peak is declining and we suddenly get into same behaviour as a society, as we did in January and February, it (the virus) can come back again in a certain way,” he said
