From today, those who do not wear masks in the state will be fined Rs 500 and will get Rs 2 masks in Amul Parlor

Plain masks will be sold at a nominal price of Rs 2 from Amul's parlor so that people can easily get the masks.

The government has made it mandatory to wear a mask when the Corona crisis is on the rise. A fine of Rs 500 will be levied from today for those who do not wear masks in public. This rule will be applicable in the whole of Gujarat from 1st August i.e. from today. From today, masks will be distributed at Rs 2 from Amul parlors across the state so that even the common man can buy them.

Informing about this, Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has decided to impose a fine of Rs 500 on people who do not wear masks in public as well as persons who spit in public from August 1. Earlier, the fine was Rs 200. In addition, plain masks will be sold at a nominal price of Rs 2 from Amul's parlor so that the people of the state can easily get the masks. It is to be noted that even before this, people could get N95 and surgical masks from Amul Parlor at low prices.

Notably, cases of corona infection are on the rise across the country along with the state. Which is why people need to be extra careful. For this, a mask is mandatory to go out of the house. Despite many appeals from the government, people are not wearing masks when going out in public. That is why the government is now forced to increase the amount of fines. After the government allowed them to go out and start businesses, people are behaving as if Korona has fled the state.

Importantly, 1153 new cases of corona virus have been reported in the state in the last 24 hours. Against which 833 patients have recovered. In the last 24 hours, 23 patients have died due to Kovid-19 in the state. The highest number of 284 cases has been reported in Surat district in 24 hours. The total number of corona cases in the state is 61,438. Of these, 14,090 are active cases.
