The night curfew from 7 pm to 7 am and weekend curfew (for the entire day) will, however, continue in all the districts.
"Uttar Pradesh lifts Covid-imposed curfew from all districts. Night curfew (7 pm to 7 am) will continue," said Chief Minister's Office (CMO).

A state government spokesperson said that there will be relaxation in coronavirus curfew in all the districts of the state from Wednesday onwards, from 7am to 7pm, for five days. However, the night curfew - 7pm to 7am and weekend curfew (for the entire day) - will continue.
