The Himachal Pradesh government Saturday extended the 'Corona curfew' till June 14,  and also cancelled the class 12 board examinations for 2020-21 Education Minister Govind Singh Thakur said. He said that the ongoing Covid curfew, which was to end on June 7, has now been extended till 6 am on June 14 with all the existing restrictions.

The decisions were taken at a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur here. The Cabinet decided to cancel 10+2 examinations for the year 2020-21 in proportion to the decision of Central government in this regard, he said. He also said that for calculating the awards for class 12 students, the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education would devise a formula taking a cue from the one being prepared by the CBSE, which had recently announced to cancel its class 12 exams due to the coronavirus pandemic.

. During the ongoing curfew in the state, shops are allowed to open from Monday to Friday between 9 am to 2 pm, while dhabas, restaurants and other eateries can operate all days till 6 pm.

It was also decided that the health department would explore more options for procuring additional vaccines directly from producers, he said.
