With the surge in Covid cases, Tamil Nadu has announced ‘Mini Lockdown’ in the state starting from Monday i.e 26th April. The state has imposed strict restrictions under this ‘Mini Lockdown’. Saloons, Beauty Parlours, Gyms, Malls, Theatres, Dine-in at Restaurants are shut from Monday onwards. However, only take-aways are allowed from the restaurants given that food falls under the essential category. This is likely to affect the retail businesses in Tamil Nadu to the core.
