LUCKNOW: Strict implementation of lockdown measures last year helped in reducing the transmission of Covid-19 in Uttar Pradesh, suggests a study on UP’s response to Covid-19 management released here on Monday.
“Strict implementation of lockdown measures successfully reduced transmission of the virus affording the state critical time to establish clinical and public health functions,” concluded the study undertaken jointly by the state health department and department of international health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
Titled ‘Preparation for and response to Covid-19 in a resource constrained setting—A case study from Uttar Pradesh’, the study noted that UP is well-prepared to guide, monitor, and control all operations needed for Covid-19 containment.
