However, according to the new guidelines, CM Yogi Adityantah has ordered relaxation on Saturday as well, in addition to Monday-Friday, with Sunday lockdown continuing as usual. This weekend relaxation has been given due to the significant improvement in the pandemic situation as 12 districts in UP have no active COVID cases as of now. On Tuesday, 59 of 75 districts did not report even a single fresh COVID-19 case whereas, in the remaining 16 districts, the number of new cases was less than 10. CM Yogi Adityanath has also asked the officials to organise vaccination camps on the premises of universities, schools, and colleges for students above 18 years of age. Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath has also directed officials to ensure COVID protocols are followed everywhere and that there is no unnecessary congregation of people anywhere.
