Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani said that the provincial government was in the process of drafting standard operating procedures (SOPs) for reopening educational institutions.

Speaking at a press conference, he said: "We are looking at whether we can open them in phases. We are trying to disinfect all educational buildings before Eidul Azha.

"If cases don't increase from now till Eid, then the government will not face any difficulty in opening educational institutes."
