Visitors are mandated to wear masks at all times, keep their distance, and not touch its glistening marble surfaces.

Only 5,000 tourists will be allowed in a day, split into two groups, which is much less when 80,000 tourists throng around the monument on a regular basis.

“All centrally protected monuments & sites shall be bound by the protocols like sanitization, social distancing & other health protocols,” the tourism ministry said in a tweet.

Agra, one of India’s first big clusters of the virus, remains the worst-affected city in Uttar Pradesh, the country’s most populous state.
According to the local administration, the Taj Mahal is surrounded by containment zones.
“We don’t expect visitors here because clusters around the Taj, including shops and hotels are closed,” an official said.
