The Punjab government has reimposed certain restrictions, including the closure of shrines and cinemas, observance of two safe days a week, and a ban on indoor dining in four cities of the province — Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad and Multan — amid rising coronavirus cases.

The restrictions will be in force from August 3 to 31, according to a notification issued by the Punjab Primary and Secondary Healthcare Department.

Other restrictions include a ban on indoor wedding functions from Aug 8 and a 50 per cent work-from-home policy while public transport will be allowed to operate at 50pc occupancy.
