Amid the surge in COVID-19 cases, a curfew is announced in Dehradun district’s Rishikesh, Dehradun, Garhi Cantt and Clement Town’s municipal areas from Monday (April 26) 7 pm to 3rd May 5 am.

The Uttarakhand government changed its COVID guidelines in which they modified the number of people who can attend weddings or gatherings and has permitted only 50 people. In the previous guidelines, as many as 200 people were allowed to attend the wedding and other gatherings.

The Uttarakhand government has also allowed the district magistrate to impose curfew and other restrictions in order to curb the coronavirus infection.
