Addressing a press conference, he said: "No school in Sindh will open from August 15. We will not compromise on children's health and will not allow private school administrations to do so either."

He also urged citizens to keep following precautionary measures, stating that new Covid-19 cases were still emerging. "We should not lose sight of precautionary measures. If we don't follow precautionary measures, cases may increase."
