The Taj Mahal, India’s top tourist attraction, opened for visitors Wednesday after being closed for two months.

Several monuments were closed in the country on April 15 to break the spread of COVID-19.

Visitors will have to book their tickets online, as offline facilities remain shut. Only 650 people will be allowed at a time.

India reported 62,224 new infections and 2,542 deaths over the last 24 hours, a significant drop from a peak of over 400,000 per day in early May.

Crowded malls and markets as various states ease COVID-19 restrictions have raised alarm. Precautionary measures, such as social distancing and mask-wearing, remain in place.
