The Sindh police chief has warned of legal action against gatherings of four or more people, starting Friday, to prevent the spread of coronavirus in the province.

In a message to the public, IG Mushtaq Ahmed Mahar said that clear instructions have been issued to police to ensure that four or more people don't travel in vehicles or gather outside "unnecessarily and without any convincing reason".

Legal proceedings will be initiated against people who fail to satisfy police on why they are travelling in a group.
