Unlock 5 guidelines: Cinema halls, entertainments parks to reopen from October 15

Unlock 5 Guidelines: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued another set of guidelines for the next phase of relaxation of the Covid-19 lockdown and allowed more activities, including reopening of cinemas and theatres. Schools and colleges may also reopen in Unlock 5, but it has been left on the state governments to decide.

Starting October 15, cinemas, theatres and multiplexes outside containment zones can reopen with up to 50 per cent seating capacity. Business to Business (B2B) Exhibitions will be permitted and the guidelines for this will be issued by the Department of Commerce. Entertainment parks and similar places will also be permitted to reopen from October 15.
