PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has issued instructions for all the office employees across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa due to the coronavirus disease.
In the directives, the court had instructed the office employees from shaking hands and hugging each other. The judge also ordered the workers suffering from cough, fever, and flu to wear a mask.
In this regard, the biometric attendance system has also been suspended as per the directives.
Until now, four coronavirus cases have been detected in Pakistan. The authorities have shut borders with Iran and Afghanistan to prevent increasing the number of viruses.
The Pak-Iran border in Taftan was closed partially last week for the screening of people coming into Pakistan via the Chaman border. Officials said that the border has been closed for an initial period of seven days and could be extended in the wake of the situation.
The coronavirus has killed more than 300 people and infected over 83,000 worldwide, with an increasing number of new cases being reported each day.
