KARACHI: Sindh government’s spokesperson Murtaza Wahab said Tuesday in response to the federal government’s rolled out new Covid controlling measures that the province would stick to its original restrictions announced July 30 instead, ARY News reported.
He said many people across Pakistan did not follow Covid SOPs and are not wearing masks and said only by getting vaccinated and wearing masks can we get over the Delta variant seige.
Wahab said there are some hypocrite elements who oppose lockdowns when Sindh government imposes them but look away when their PTI-led federal government imposes the same restrictions to curb the pandemic rage.
These elements provoke people to violate government restrictions but they dont see even in Lahore, where PTI leads, has recently seen the surge of cases. He added that it was time we convinced people to follow the instructions so we can have normalcy back.
