The Uttar Pradesh government said in a statement that the number of districts where active Covid-19 cases have fallen below 600 has reached 71. According to officials, if the number of active cases of Covid-19 breaches the mark, the partial curfew will automatically come back into place in that district, bordering Delhi.
