Mohali, December 30

The district administration today made it mandatory to have both doses of Covid vaccine or a negative RT-PCR report not earlier than 72 hours to attend the New Year’s party in Mohali.

Deputy Commissioner Isha Kalia said the order came in the wake of increasing Covid cases and threat of the Omicron variant. The implementation of these orders was the responsibility of the owners and management of the party venue, she added. Isha Kalia said in case of any positive case surfacing in a locality, office, etc., all persons of the locality or employees of the office should get themselves tested besides ensuring getting fully vaccinated.

The DC said all employees of malls, salons, gyms, restaurants and other frequented places should be vaccinated with the second dose. She said their administration would also have to conduct Covid-19 testing of staff every 15 days. She added that besides Covid-appropriate behaviour, the heads of departments should ensure 100 per cent immunisation of all government employees. — TNS
