KARACHI: In order to contain the coronavirus outbreak, the Government of Sindh has made it mandatory to carry COVID-19 vaccination certificates for people visiting the restaurants for outdoor dining.
A statement issued by the provincial home department today (Monday) said, “Carrying vaccination cards by the costumers while dining out shall be mandatory for the purpose of inspection by the LEAs (law enforcement agencies).”
Meanwhile, the provincial government has also made vaccination certificates mandatory for travel via train from October 1.
The development came hours after the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) announced that only vaccinated individuals will be allowed to travel by train.
The meeting chaired by NCOC chief Asad Umar expressed concern over the alarming increase in COVID-19 infections across Pakistan, particularly Rawalpindi and Peshawar.
Pakistan has administered at least 37,424,706 doses of Covid vaccines so far. Assuming every person needs 2 doses that’s enough to have vaccinated about 8.6% of the country’s population.
During the last week reported, Pakistan averaged about 1,024,697 doses administered each day. “At that rate, it will take a further 43 days to administer enough doses for another 10% of the population,” it predicted.
