What are allowed to open in new TN lockdown relaxation?

As the lockdown is scheduled to end by 6 am on Monday, Chief Minister MK Stalin on Friday announced that the lockdown will be extended with more relaxations till 6 am on July 5.

One of the key relaxations is opening up bus services with 50 per cent occupancy rate in 27 districts. The division of districts into three categories depending on number of COVID cases continues but even in the 11 districts where the caseload is still high, government has provided relaxations this time.

For Chennai and neighbouring districts, the State government provided more relaxations with textiles and jewellery shops being permitted without air conditioners and with 50 per cent customers from 9 am to 7 pm. Shopping complexes and malls are also permitted from 9 am to 7 pm but only parcel service is permitted in restaurants inside shopping malls and movie theatres are still not permitted. All places of worship are now permitted by following the Standard Operating Procedures.
