COVID-29: Sindh to observe smart lockdown for two days

KARACHI: Sindh will observe a smart lockdown from today till Sunday in order to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.

Earlier this week, the Sindh government lifted some of the coronavirus lockdown restrictions, allowing businesses to resume activities five days a week except on Saturdays and Sundays from 6 am to 7 pm.

However, the provincial government, despite easing the lockdown, had decided to prohibit 10 sectors from resuming their activities until 30th June; these are as follows:

Educational institutes, marriage hall, gyms, sports facilities, restaurants, amusement parks, salons, cinemas, public processions, and tourism.

The move to reopen businesses in the province is part of Sindh’s adherence to the Supreme Court’s directive to formulate a uniform policy with regard to the coronavirus lockdown.
