Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani has said that four more schools in Karachi have been sealed due to non-implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs).

Addressing a press conference in Hyderabad, he said that one of the schools was sealed after two teachers at the institution tested positive for coronavirus. Ghani said that the government was strictly monitoring the situation.

"I acknowledge that shutdown due to Covid has badly affected education and private schools are facing problems trying to stay alive. But for us, the health of our children is more important than their loss of education and problems of private schools," he said.
