Ahmedabad imposes night curfew as COVID cases rise

Ahmedabad has imposed night curfew from 9 pm to 6 am after coronavirus cases kept rising in the city. The curfew will come into effect from Friday and will stay on indefinitely. Data released by the Gujarat government's health department puts Ahmedabad's tally of confirmed cases at over 45,000 to date. This includes over 40,000 recoveries and nearly 2,000 casualties.Officials have attributed the spike in coronavirus cases to the festival season.

The WHO's Michael Ryan said vaccines should not be seen as a "unicorn" magic solution, and countries battling a resurgence of the virus would once again have to "climb this mountain" without vaccines.
