The NCOC also cautioned the authorities that restaurants and marriage halls were “emerging as the epicentre of the disease”. Federal minister Asad Umar also warned that indoor restaurants and marriage halls were emerging as “high contributors to the Covid-19 spread”. The lockdown was imposed in an apartment located in the district’s sub-division Civil Lines, according to a notification issued. The DC also said that a restaurant was also sealed for violating the prescribed coronavirus SOPs. The development comes a day after a similar lockdown was imposed in two areas of Manghopir for two weeks.
