Earlier, the Indian government had allowed a gathering of 100 people during an event, but this norm was not being followed by the masses. Marriages directly infuse liquidity in various businesses, including clothes, jewellery, beauty, and dairy products, besides artists, cooks, florists, and electricians, among others.
In India, the first case of COVID-19 was reported in Kerala on 30th January. Subsequently, two more cases were reported from the State. The country’s COVID-19 caseload increased to 9,266,705 new infections being reported in a day, while the recoveries surged to 8,679,138.
