With the receding COVID-19 cases across Uttar Pradesh, the Yogi Adityanath government has decided to end the night curfew across the state that was imposed to contain the spread of coronavirus infection.

The night curfew was in place from 11 pm to 6 am every day due to the pandemic. 

Earlier in September, the state government had revised the timings of the night curfew.

Orders have been issued to all the Divisional Commissioners, Additional Director Generals of Police, Inspectors General of Police and Commissioners of Police and district officers to end the night curfew statewide.

Notably, over 40 districts in the state have already been declared COVID-19 free. The drop in fresh and active cases in Amroha, Ayodhya, Badaun, Baghpat, Ballia, Basti, Bahraich, Bhadohi, Bijnor, Chandauli, Chitrakoot, Deoria, Etah, Etawah, Farrukhabad, Fatehpur, Ghazipur, Gonda, Hamirpur, Hapur, Hardoi, Hathras, Jaunpur, Kanpur Dehat, Kasganj, Kushinagar, Lakhimpur Kheri, Lalitpur, Mahoba, Mainpuri, Mau, Mirzapur, Rampur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Shamli, Shravasti, Siddhartha Nagar, Sitapur, Sonbhadra, Sultanpur and Unnao, indicate complete elimination of Covid-19 from over 50 per cent of the state.

None of the 75 districts in the state have reported fresh COVID-19 cases in double-digits lately which indicates the virus is receding.

The transmission levels in the state have been brought down by restricting the fresh cases below 50 for over two consecutive months.

The state continues to scale up the stringent testing mechanism which has helped in breaking the Covid chain with effective protocols in place, and by sticking to the time-tested strategy of case isolation and contact-tracing, combined with an alert community surveillance system.
