The Andhra Pradesh government on Monday decided to extend the Covid curfew till June 10.
Chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, in a high-level meeting, took the decision to extend the curfew after a review of the current Covid-19 scenario in the state.
Though the cases have been witnessing a steady decline over the past week, the government decided to continue the curfew for a few more days to ensure the Covid-19 curve flattens.

The government kept aside proposals of reducing the curfew timing and extended the curfew with same set of restrictions.
The curfew will be in force daily from 12 noon to 6am. Prohibitory orders under Section 144 CrPC will continue to be in force from 6am to 12 noon.
Shops and business establishments can only function between 6am to 12 noon. Public transport like auto rickshaws, cab services and city buses will also stall their operations after 12 noon every day.

Notably, the lockdown, which was first imposed on May 5 following the unprecedented rise in coronavirus cases, was supposed to end on May 31.
