Rajasthan will take a cautious approach with regard to opening up from COVID-19 lockdown. The state government will remove restrictions in inter-state and state-wide movement of goods and people. Moreover, government and offices can start functioning in full capacity. However, the rest of the restrictions will still be in place.

The state government guidelines state that bus, taxi, cab, auto or cycle rickshaw are permitted ensuring proper sanitisation of seats, reports Hindustan Times. Government buses will still not run until further notice.
