Calls for immediate curbs on all gatherings amid public health crisis
The Allahabad High Court has asked the Uttar Pradesh government to consider the viability of a complete lock-down for at least two or three weeks in districts where COVID-19 infection has increased alarmingly. The court also stated that “We must give priority to public health over elections” and hoped that the government would streamline every department of public health and public care in the light of directions issued by it to curb the spread of COVID-19. Night curfew or corona curfew imposed on many districts on instructions from Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is a small step and could only curb night parties and large religious congregation in the coming month of Ramazan and Navratri, the court said.
