The Chief Minister, in a late-night meeting on Wednesday, has also authorised district magistrates in Uttar Pradesh to impose night curfew in their respective areas if faced with more than 500 Covid-19 cases.

All government, non-government or privately run schools, colleges and educational institutes and coaching institutes have been closed in Lucknow.
