UK Virus Strain: No Home Delivery on December 31 Night

Mumbai: Amid concerns of a new and fast-spreading strain of novel coronavirus in UK, which was later found in France, Spain, Sweden and Canada among other countries.

Several Indian states have re-imposed fresh Covid-19 restrictions ahead of the New Year Celebrations in the country. Those of you planning a home party on New Year’s Eve, be sure to stock up on food, as restaurants won’t be delivering it beyond the 11-pm curfew.

Due to the lack of clarity on deliveries, the city’s hoteliers have decided to close business on December 31 before the night curfew takes effect.

Some hoteliers said they are seeking clarity on whether food delivery will be allowed beyond 11 pm, the AHAR (Indian Hotel & Restaurant Association) members said will abide by the rules imposed in the city.

They said that the hoteliers, whose businesses are already suffering, will benefit from the relief. One of the hoteliers, on condition of anonymity, said that even now when they accept orders after 11 pm, their delivery executives have to deal with a lot of problems due to the curbs. So, to avoid any trouble on the eve of New Year, we will abide by the norms.

Meanwhile, teams of police and the civic body have been formed to carry out vigilance drives across the city to ensure that there is complete night curfew and people are not on streets.
