20 Shows & Movies To Binge Watch Over The Weekend!
Coronavirus, Covid-19, when we hear these words now, all we think about is the year 2020 which took us by surprise and brought out things which we didn't even know could exist. Right when 2020 won started, oh we mean 2021 started we knew things would be better. Alas, 2021 April is here and we are right where we were, but with vaccines now so there is some hope. To try and handle the worsening situation of covid 19 in Delhi, the government imposed a weekend curfew from Friday, 16th April, 2021.
Let's get to some FAQs about the curfew which we all have been asking.
1. Is the Delhi weekend curfew a complete lockdown?
Not exactly. The total lockdown we experienced last year from March 22nd 2020 to May 18th 2020 was a complete shutdown case with barely any facilities operating. However, with government issued passes essential services or activities have been allowed. People organizing their weddings can still do so with the passes, dine-in options have been closed but home deliveries would be available. Similarly, e-commerce goods deliveries and other essential goods deliveries can operate with passes. Food, grocery stores, medical stores, ATMs and such outlets will be open during the curfew. Delhi Metro will be open with 15 minute intervals between metros on Saturday and Sunday.
2. Why is there a curfew in Delhi this weekend? When will the curfew be over?
The weekend curfew has been imposed by the government with the aim to curb the skyrocketing numbers of covid cases in the capital. In order to avoid disrupting work schedules of most people during the weekdays, the weekend curfew was planned as most people move about during the weekends for leisure activities which can be restricted or avoided. The curfew is from 10 pm on Friday, 16th April to 5 am on Monday, 19th April 2020.
3. Can I be fined if I don't follow the curfew imposed in Delhi?
If you violate the rules of the weekend curfew then you will be arraigned as per the provisions of sections 51 to 60 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, Section 188 of IPC and other pertinent laws.
Now that we have cleared some basic questions, let us get into the main topic at hand. During the weekend curfew maybe it is time for us to take some time to calm down and not get overwhelmed by the pandemic. We have been through this already. So we know that it is highly important to take a break as well. So we should all just bring out our creative 3D mugs and fill them up with coffee or hot chocolate and get on the couch or bed. Utilizing this opportunity, why not binge watch over the weekend on new shows or shows you have been waiting to watch; the movies you have added to your watch list but have not got the time to see?
