In wake of rising coronavirus cases and an ongoing second wave of the virus, the federal government has re-imposed restrictions that were earlier relaxed, so as to control the contagion. These include the closure of all trade activities and centres, including shopping malls, markets, eateries and wedding halls, by 10pm. For the purpose, police patrol the city’s streets at night, while shops remain closed and citizens locked inside their homes. “However, most of them will not likely be earning much this time around due to the [Covid-19] restrictions,” he laments. Amid all this, however, a large segment of people continues to ignore precautionary measures and don’t wear face masks in public places.
