Cinemas in West Bengal have now been permitted to operate at 75% capacity instead of 50% stipulated in January this year following the rise in Omicron cases. As night curfews will be imposed daily from 11 p.m., the cinemas will need to complete the night shows by that time. Other COVID restrictions will continue till February 15.
It may be mentioned here that the West Bengal government had reduced the capacity of cinemas from 70% to 50% for the month of January. The night curfews all through January used to start at 10 p.m.
