Physical rallies with a maximum capacity of 1000 people and indoor meetings with a maximum capacity of 500 people were also allowed by the polling body. For the door-to-door campaign, twenty people are allowed.
The election commission made the decision after discussing the Covid situation with the state’s health secretaries and noting the positive rate.
