That may no longer be the case. Experts believe India is now riding on the second wave of COVID-19 nationwide. After keeping at around 29,000 new cases daily earlier this month, things took a turn for the worse when the country recorded nearly 45,000 cases on November 22.

The Gujarat government had imposed a night curfew in Ahmedabad, Surat, Vadodara and Rajkot from Saturday 9:00 pm due to a massive rise in the number of coronavirus cases. After the Diwali festivities, there has been a significant rise in the number of COVID cases in Gujarat, especially in the financial capital of the state, Ahmedabad. Many people were seen roaming the markets without adhering the standard precautions.

The state authorities had earlier announced the curfew till December 7. “People must remain indoors during this period. People must not stand at public roads, streets or public places or move around on foot or in vehicles during this period," the order said.
