All beaches in Chennai, Chengalpet and Kanchipuram districts will be off limits to the public on weekends and all government holidays from April 11.
The government said religious places can stay open up to 10 pm provided they follow all norms. But they cannot conduct fairs or hold religious congregations Cinema halls and multiplexes can hold an additional show besides the permitted four but occupancy remains capped at 50 %, an official release said.
The civic body was confident about managing crowds at the city’s 80 markets apart from Koyambedu. Corporation commissioner G Prakash said the challenge remains regulating the crowded Kasimedu fishing harbour. “The big challenge is to achieve balance between public health and livelihood and we have to consider the livelihood of 24,000 fishermen there,” Prakash said.
On Saturday, few people wore masks or maintained social distancing at several markets in the city such as Kothavalchavadi, Broadway, Zam Bazaar.
