As festivals begin in India, the Union government advised states/UTs to celebrate festivals adhering to Covid protocols. Any laxity in following appropriate Covid behaviour such as wearing masks, maintaining distance, and avoid crowding during the festivals might trigger the next wave of Coronavirus infections, the Union Health Ministry said.

Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, while reviewing the vaccination progress in the country yesterday, said Covid-19 containment can derail if festivals are not celebrated following protocols.
