Lucknow: As the COVID-19 cases in the state are getting reduced, the Uttar Pradesh government on Friday (July 2) further eased the COVID-19 restrictions. According to the new guidelines, the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has allowed multiplexes, cinema halls, gyms and sports stadiums to open from next week with strict protocols in place. The new guidelines will come into effect from Monday (July 5). According to the reports, the decision to further unlock Uttar Pradesh was taken on Friday (July 2) during a meeting with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. “The business of cinema hall operators has been affected due to Covid-19.
