KOLKATA: Public health experts, doctors, mental health specialists, virologists and citizens from across the spectrum have appealed to experts strategising on restrictions to control spread of Covid-19 in Kolkata and other metros to refrain from shutting down open green spaces whenever cases rise.
At present, parks and lakes in the city are shut. In the past two years, these public places have remained closed for 14 months. For the few months they had been opened, timings have been extremely restrictive and children have not been allowed entry.
