The development comes after Pakistan’s coronavirus infection rate jumped to 7% Thursday. Karachi has, on the other hand, recorded its highest number of cases since the first virus outbreak last year. The positivity rate in the city has reached 28.8%.
The government has, so far, refuted claims of a lockdown. Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has said decisions on restrictions and lockdown will be taken in coordination with the NCOC.
