Despite testing positive, the CM was doing day-to-day work virtually without any interruption from his official residence. He was taking Team-11 meetings regularly. He had also attended PM meetings and held many virtual meetings with officials. The CM had also received the first dose of Covid vaccine early this month.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath carried out an inspection of the DRDO hospital at Awadh Shilp Gram on Friday and took stock of treatment arrangements. He visited the facility which will be named as Atal Bihari Bajpai Covid Hospital. Later, the CM also tweeted about his visit and said that the battle against the corona disease was being fought with full energy.

“We will beat corona to emerge successful,” he said in his tweet. A government spokesperson said that it would be the largest Covid facility in the district. He said that DRDO is carrying out the work on a war-footing for the hospital which will have 500 beds, including 150 ventilator beds.
“DRDO has completed the work in a few days and the trial is likely to be carried out soon. For the residents of Lucknow, this is one of the biggest health facilities created”, he added.
