Uttar Pradesh government on Friday announced the easing of coronavirus restrictions further from 5 July amid a slight decline in daily new infections.
The state government has allowed multiplexes, cinema halls, gyms and sports stadiums to open from next week with strict Covid-19 protocols in place.
However, the weekend closure will continue in UP. The decision to further unlock UP was taken during a meeting today with state Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The new guidelines will come into effect from Monday, CM Adityanath said in the meeting. The UP CM also said that these places where curbs have been relaxed will have to follow all Covid-19 safety protocols when they reopen.
