Sindh's coronavirus task force has informed Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah that 103 people have tested negative for the coronavirus from a total of 107 tested across the province. The four positive cases have all surfaced in Karachi.

In its meeting on Sunday, the task force also informed the chief minister that 265 people have been quarantined in their homes.

A day earlier, the task force announced that a group of 300 pilgrims from Iran would leave the Taftan border for Jacobabad. From there they would travel to Sukkur where they would be kept under quarantine.

However, the task force said on Sunday that the move has been deferred and that the pilgrims would now leave from Taftan at 5pm on Monday.
