LUCKNOW: Three more localities were declared containment zones in the city on Monday, while two were removed from the list. Now, there are 26 such zones.
According to the statement from the chief medical officer, the new containment zones are Surendranagar in Indiranagar, a locality near Parag Dairy in LDA Colony and Alishannagar in sector I of Jankipuram. From all these localities, two or more cases have been reported in the past few days. Two places-an apartment in New Hyderabad and CS Colony in Darogakheda, Sarojininagar, were removed from the list of containment zones as no case was reported from these localities for two weeks.
Four private hospitals in Aashiana, Burlington Crossing, Jankipuram, and Mahanagar, respectively, were closed for 24 hours for sanitisation after patients admitted for treatment were later found to be Covid-19 positive. The patients have been shifted to government hospitals. The health workers who came in contact with patients have been asked to home quarantine and will be tested, said deputy CMO Dr Anoop Srivastava.
Apart from 27 Covid-19 positive cases of the employees of the chief minister's helpline, 13 more cases were reported from the city. They include a neighbour of the helpline employee in Ismailganj, three members of a family in LDA Colony on Kanpur Road, two each from Jankipuram and Lalkuan and one each from Gomtinagar, Daliganj, Rajajipuram, Campbell Road and Sarojininagar.
