PTI leader Khurram Sher Zaman has dished heavy criticism on Sindh government and its policies to curb the novel coronavirus in the province.

He questioned the decision to close stores at 5pm, saying the measure will not help curb the virus. Citing examples of the United States and Europe — where millions have been infected and thousands have died from the virus — he said that the world was coming to the conclusion that "lockdown is not the solution".
