Corona cases are becoming unstoppable in the country, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath decided to impose a 3 days lockdown in the state. During this period everything remains closed except for essential services. So far 862 people have lost their lives in Uttar Pradesh alone while the cases crossed 31 thousand till now. As long the number of Corona investigation tests is increasing the ratio of infected people also raised.
Rapidly increasing cases of corona infection have brought Uttar Pradesh back into lockdown status. Like the one-day Janata curfew, the Yogi government of UP has announced a three-day lockdown between Unlock-2. Chief Secretary RK Tiwari has issued orders to close all offices, hot and market business establishments from 10 am to 5 am on Friday.
In Unlock-1 and 2, the government gave many concessions, since which cases of Corona infection have been increasing rapidly. This time again, the ruling issued a three-day lockdown order on Thursday amid the ongoing lockdown speculation. However, this time there has been talking of prevention from communicable diseases along with corona infection. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has already issued instructions for the state-wide campaign of cleanliness and sanitation on July 10, 11, and 12. It is believed that the lockdown can be applied for a longer period after this three-day trial if the infection does not stop. However, no one is officially ready to say in this regard.
