speech on self alertness during unlock 5
Answers
Explanation:
Unlock 5.0 has been set in motion from today after consultations and feedback from states, UTs and central ministries. The new set of guidelines aims to further open up economic activities.
We are now five unlocks into the COVID-19 crisis, but there is still a lot of confusion about what is allowed and what is not. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions:

First of all, what changed in the last unlock?
Last month the MHA allowed metro rails to resume, allowed functions and gatherings of up to 100 people, allowed bars and pubs to open and removed all interstate and intrastate movement restrictions. However, education institutions were told to remain closed, cinemas and entertainment parks were kept shut, and international travel too, except as permitted by the MHA, remained suspended.

What about public gatherings in Unlock 5?
As mentioned above, gatherings up to 100 people were allowed from last month. Now under Unlock 5, states and UTs have been given the flexibility to permit all functions and congregations beyond the ceiling of 100 persons from October 15. In closed spaces, a maximum of 50 per cent of hall capacity will be allowed with a ceiling of 200 people. To ensure that such gatherings do not spread the virus, states and UTs will issue detailed SOPs.
