Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has ordered that all grocery shops and stores across the province will be closed by 5pm from tomorrow. Earlier, the government had allowed shops to remain open from 8am t0 8pm.
Shah said that about 10 per cent of reported cases were locally transmitted, adding that it was a "dangerous trend".
He said that restricting prayer congregations was a difficult decision and was "aimed at saving people from local transmission".
