India's top tourist attraction the Taj Mahal will reopen on Wednesday, the government has said, two months after it was shut as a deadly surge in coronavirus infections swept the country.
Covid-19 precautions mean visitors would not be allowed to touch the shining marble mausoleum, an Archaeological Survey of India official said.
“All Covid-appropriate precautions are being taken,” the official told AFP.
“Visitors will have to step on a sponge-like platform which will act as a sanitiser for shoes.“
