The Uttar Pradesh government today decided to relax restrictions in districts that currently have less than 600 active Covid cases starting June 1.

Bigger cities such as capital Lucknow, where the active case count is higher, won’t see relaxations in the curbs for now.

According to a government notification, markets in districts that have less than 600 active cases can now open from 7 am to 7 pm on weekdays. The weekend curfew, however, will continue to be in force.
