The Ghazipur market too has been reopened after samples tested negative
NOIDA/GHAZIABAD: Even as a brown fish owl at the Delhi zoo died and tested positive for bird flu earlier this week, the HIN8 viral strain has not affected any poultry or migratory bird population in Noida, Greater Noida or Ghaziabad so far.
As a result, the temporary restrictions that the state government had imposed on letting live poultry from other states into Uttar Pradesh will be lifted on January 24, unless further orders keep them in force.
Meanwhile, restaurants in Noida reported having started bringing back chicken on the menu. Many restaurants had restricted the sale of chicken dishes until the upcoming weekend.
The Karnataka government on Wednesday declared a six-hour night curfew from December 24 to the morning of January 2, covering Christmas and New Year, during which no gatherings would be allowed anywhere in the state.
Chief minister B.S. Yediyurappa said the curfew would be in place from 11pm to 5am as a precautionary measure against the new strain of Covid-19 reported in Britain.
“We took the decision after consulting the Union government and the technical advisory committee (of the state health ministry) considering the new strain of Covid-19,” Yediyurappa said.
The decision comes a day after two passengers who arrived from Britain tested positive for Covid-19. Their blood samples are being tested for the new strain of the virus.
