The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced to further relax night curfew in the state by one hour in view of decline in Covid-19 cases. The night curfew hours will now be from 11 pm to 6 am, instead of 10 pm to 6 am. According to an order issued by additional chief secretary home, Awanish Awasthi, the new timings will come into immediate effect.
However, the order said, other coronavirus protocols will continue to be strictly followed – wearing masks, using sanitizers and maintaining social distancing.
