In India:

The country reopened parts of its huge rail network Tuesday, running a limited number of trains as it looks at easing a nearly seven-week lockdown despite a continuing rise in coronavirus infections.

Special trains departed from several large cities, including New Delhi and Mumbai.

Passengers were allowed to enter the stations only if they were asymptomatic and cleared thermal screening. They are required to maintain social distancing on board and are given hand sanitizer when they enter and leave.

Indian Railways also is requiring that passengers download a governmentrun contact tracing smartphone app before boarding the train.
