Considering the surge in Covid-19 cases in the national capital, the Delhi High Court has directed its staff as well as lawyers to wear face masks at all times in the court premises as a matter of caution.

The court has also asked people not to gather in large numbers and follow appropriate Covid protocols.

"All the Registrars/OSDs/Co-ordinator, DIAC/Joint Registrars (Judicial)/Private Secretaries to Hon'ble the Chief Justice and Hon'ble Judges are hereby requested to ensure that the directions issued from time to time to contain the spread of Covid-19 virus are strictly followed by Officers/officials under their control," the court said.
