On Sunday, two fresh cases were reported, while four patients recovered. Patients with active infection status were 20. Such low levels were witnessed in April last year, when the pandemic was at its initial stage in the city.
Overall, the pandemic has inflicted over 2.38 lakh infections in Lucknow so far, of which more than 2,36 lakh patients have recovered, while 2651 could not survive.
