Taking into account the rising number of Covid-19 cases, Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, decided to extend the state’s curfew by two hours. The curfew in Uttar Pradesh has now been changed from 10pm to 6am instead of 11pm to 5am.
The decision was made at a late Tuesday night meeting between Adityanath and Team 9 (a group of senior officials composed of chief ministers to develop a plan to control Covid-19), as the number of coronavirus infections exceeded 3,000 marks.
According to the latest guidelines, the curfew will be implemented on December 25 and will last until January 14.
In addition, it has been decided to restrict public places in any area where more than 1,000 cases have been reported.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said at the review meeting: “In areas where the minimum number of active cases exceeds 1,000, public places such as gymnasiums, spas, cinemas, banquet halls, restaurants, etc. should have a capacity of 50%. Operation.” Starting from January 6th, no more than 100 people will enter the closed place at a time during weddings and other events. “People in open spaces should not be allowed to exceed 50% of the total floor capacity. Masks and disinfectants should be mandatory,” he added.
According to the latest state announcement, Uttar Pradesh reported 992 new Covid cases on Tuesday, bringing the number of active cases to 3,173.
All public and private schools under the 10th grade have been closed until January 14, while vaccinations for children aged 15-18 are continuing.
