Owing to an increasing number of cases in the province, Sindh has ordered the close down of schools, colleges and universities.
To put some order in handling the third wave of coronavirus, the Sindh government has come up with new measurements, which will prove to be essential in containing the spread of the virus. Out of those measurements, closure of all schools, colleges and universities has also been added.
The advisor to the chief minister of Sindh tweeted through his twitter id saying, “All Sindh Govt offices shall operate with an essential staff of 20% only. All schools, colleges & universities shall also remain closed due to the rising number of COVID19 cases.”
