Uttar Pradesh: Even as COVID-19 cases rise, Yogi Adityanath govt rules out night curfew or lockdown in the state

Even as the second surge of Covid-19 cases is knocking at the doors of Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government has ruled out any night curfew and lockdown in any part of the state.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has adopted a two-pronged strategy to deal with the surge in Covid-19 cases. He has directed the Health department not only to launch a 15-day Focus Testing drive and step up contact testing but set a target of 10 million vaccinations by March 31 to check the spread of the deadly viral disease.
