The Uttarakhand government requested early identification, isolation, testing, and management of suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19 out of concern about the emergence of a new COVID wave from District Magistrates and Chief Medical Officers.

Foreign alcoholic beverages may be served daily from 12 AM to 11 PM during the week, with the exception of Saturdays, and all day on Saturdays. The decision has been made to keep the liquor stores open for the duration that the tourism organisation has set.

The government gave the DMs and CMOs instructions to make sure that Covid-19 variant rescue and control preparations were made in each district.
