Shops in East Khasi Hills will not be allowed to open unless all of their staff get the Covid-19 vaccine, with the deadline for this set for June 24, the East Khasi Hills Deputy Commissioner said today.
The DC has also directed the District Transport Officer to work out a mechanism for the staggered operation of public transport from next week, depending on the Covid situation.
However, all drivers of commercial vehicles, including local taxis, tourist taxis and buses, are required to have received at least one dose of the vaccine before resuming operations.
