When asked if people should listen to the premier or Sindh CM, Murad Ali Shah said there "is no discrepancy between us and federal government".

"We just imposed a lockdown earlier and maybe a stricter one. Otherwise, we're on the same page [in our approach].

"PM Imran said the other day he doesn't want the virus to spread. I'm right now saying the same thing."

He also reminded people that diabetics and heart patients should not be exposed to the virus. "If you want to help your elders, don't go near them."
