The federal and provincial governments decided to seal the areas where new cases of coronavirus are reported, as the addition of over 100 cases from across the country on Thursday took the total number of confirmed patients of Covid-19 to 1,190.

After detection of some new cases, Bhara Kahu, Chak Shahzad and Ramsha Colony in Islamabad; some parts of Sadiqabad, a part of Dhoke Kashmirian and B Block of Satellite Town in Rawalpindi; and Mohrah Akkrah near Sohawa and Manga village in Charsadda have been sealed.

Vehicles, except those involved in freight transportation, have been banned on highways and motorways.
