Chief Minister issued a warning
The chief minister issued a warning that if the positive rate was not decreased, the government could be forced to enact stronger measures.
Azra Pechuho, the minister of health for Sindh, had earlier ruled out a lockdown in the city and recommended the restoration of certain guidelines and restrictions in indoor settings, such as the wearing of face masks and social seclusion practises.
She was cited as stating in a statement released following the meeting, “The city cannot be forced to go under another lockdown, which is why it is vitally necessary that the community at large appreciates the importance of Covid SOPs and follows them.”
“Masks must be made a requirement for all indoor locations, notably theatres and the like, to prevent further virus growth. Another factor contributing to the rise of Covid-19 instances is the lack of measures that people are taking.”
