 COVID-19: Several areas of Lahore to be sealed tomorrow night

LAHORE: Punjab Health Minister Yasmeen Rashid on Monday said that several areas of Lahore, which have higher number of COVID-19 cases, would be sealed tomorrow night for 15 days to contain the spread of the disease.

Addressing a press conference in Lahore, the health minister said a strategy was being devised about the areas with high ratio of Covid-19 patients. She said the standard operating procedures (SOPs) of the government should be followed strictly, so that the wheel of the economy could be run. “Lahore is becoming a hotspot of coronavirus. Only through wearing mask we can stop at least 50 percent of corona disease transmission,” she said.

She said different areas including Johar Town, Shahdara, Mazang, Harbanspura, Allama Iqbal Town, Wapda Town, Cantt area, Walled City, Shad Bagh and Nishter Ground would be sealed for at least fortnight as the areas had started transmitting 1000 plus cases daily. One of the areas has developed 358 cases in one day, she said.

The minister said essential item shops and pharmacies would remain open in the affected areas.
