As per the order, the unvaccinated people will not be able to use marriage hall, hotel, bank, any mall, any government office and bus services from 1 January 2022.
In the meantime, the Gurugram health department on Tuesday claimed to have achieved 100 per cent coverage of both doses of COVID-19 vaccine, thereby, becoming the first district in Haryana to do so.
