Trudging past the horrors of the second wave of coronavirus, Lucknow has managed to restore normalcy with a curbed 0.1% positivity rate in the last week. However, experts have highlighted that continued precaution post the peak of the infection, is crucial to prevent another unprecedented surge.

As such, the district administration has ramped up testing and vaccination in the urban as well as rural limits to guard up against the pandemic. Arrangements for PICUs and NICUs, ahead of the anticipated third wave, are also underway.

Much like the rest of the state, Lucknow has waged a war against the COVID swell and is conducting sampling, testing, tracing, treatment and inoculation, at a war footing. The state capital has been the epicentre of coronavirus rise in Uttar Pradesh and thus, it also established its agency as the most sought treatment hub of the same. The district saw the establishment of several provisional facilities through the months of April and May to fill up the cracks of the collapsing healthcare system.
