A gathering of more than 50 people will not be allowed in Delhi, in the wake of the novel coronavirus outbreak, to prevent the community spread, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced Monday. “This also applies to people protesting; religious, social, political — a gathering of more than 50 people will not be allowed,” he told a press conference. When asked about the Shaheen Bagh protests, Mr. Kejriwal said the rule will be imposed on all gatherings of 50 people or more. Mr. Kejriwal also made an appeal to postpone wedding functions if possible in order to prevent people from being part of large gatherings. It is imperative that those who have been asked to home quarantine themselves due to coronavirus stay at home, he added.
