“There should be more vigilance in the Lucknow, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Meerut and Kanpur Nagar districts and efforts should be made to bring down the fatality rate in these districts,” the chief minister said while presiding over a high-level meeting at his official residence here on Thursday
He said that Uttar Pradesh had successfully controlled the COVID-19 infection rate but it did not mean that the government should lower its guard.
