The Sindh government has allowed business activities across the province from Monday in accordance with the decisions of the National Coordination Committee (NCC) but warned that the lockdown, with more restrictions, could return if the cases of coronavirus witnessed a new spike.

Sindh Information Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said in a statement that all the business activities would be allowed to operate under specific guidelines and standard operating procedures (SOPs). “Any businessman who would not fully comply with the guidelines or SOPs will not be allowed to do business,” he said.

He said that although the NCC had not yet given permission to open major markets, shopping malls and departmental stores, the Sindh government would consult with the federal government and the provinces in this regard.
