NEW DELHI: SUNDAY, APRIL 18, 2021 – Those who have come to participate in the Kumbh Mela in Delhi, the central capital of India, have to stay in the quarantine for 14 days.

Hundreds of people participating in the Kumbh Mela in Haridwar have been confirmed to be infected with the Corona virus, so the state government has decided to quarantine those coming from there.

“Similarly, those who are going to the Kumbh Mela from April 18 to 30 will have to submit some key details before leaving Delhi,” the directive said.

More than 1,700 people who participated in the Kumbh Mela were confirmed to be infected with the Corona virus.

The basic standards of wearing a mask and maintaining social distance were openly violated at the great Hindu fair attended by millions of people.
