Starting Jan 1, Haryana bans entry to public places for unvaccinated or single-vaccinated people

As per a recent directive by the Haryana government, it is mandatory for people to take the second dose of COVID-19 in order to gain entry into restaurants, banks, malls, offices, and other public places. The new rule will be in place from January 1, 2022.
According to Haryana Additional Chief Secretary (Health), Rajeev Arora, only 60 percent of the state's total population have received both the doses. He said, "As the dose of Covid vaccination has reached 93 per cent whereas the second dose is still lagging behind at 60 per cent (till December 22, 2021). Large numbers of beneficiaries are due and overdue since long for the second dose of Covid vaccination."

The decision has been taken since Omicron cases are on the rise in the country, and it is imperative that further spread is curbed at the earliest. The Additional Chief Secretary has also said that the emerging situation begs for monitoring and focused implementation or vaccinations.
The new guidelines bars those who have not been double vaccinated from entering into any public place, which includes your local sabzi mandi, grain markets, liquor and wine stores, local markets, shopping complexes, among other places. Public gathering is only for those who are fully vaccinated in the state of Haryana.

Not only that, but bus stands and railway stations will be accessible only to fully vaccinated folks. Moreover, religious places, petrol and CNG stations, milk booths, and ration shops, too will have the same rules.

Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij, said in the state assembly, "From January 1, 2022, the people who have not taken both doses will not be allowed to enter marriage halls, hotels, restaurants, offices, banks, or any other public places. This is to protect ourselves from Omicron and the third wave of Covid."
