All private tuition centers, government, and privately organized employment camps would also be allowed to function henceforth. From Sunday’s beaches will be allowed for the general public on Sundays also and weddings can be held with the participation of 100 people from November onwards. The government in the statement said that 50 people will be allowed to attend funerals from November onwards.
The Chief Minister’s office in the statement, however, said that restrictions for social and political events would continue as also restrictions on the religious and cultural programmes.
Dr. Uma Maheswari, social scientist and professor at a private college in Chennai said, “Reopening of Kindergartens and playschools are good. Children need to interact with their classmates and teachers physically. However, we should not let our guards down as it is a dangerous disease and the pandemic can come back. So teachers and other staff at these playschools and kindergartens have to be well aware of the pitfalls and act accordingly.”
