Kedarnath portals were reopened on May 17 amid following strict Covid-19 protocols.

The gates were opened at 05:00 am after a ritualistic ceremony.

However, the 'Chardham Yatra' has been temporarily suspended by the Uttarakhand government in view of the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic.

The portals of the shrine were closed in November 2019 for the winter season.
