The Sindh government on Saturday issued revised Standard of procedures (SOPs) in order to curb the second wave of coronavirus which is rapidly picking pace in the country. “The [safety precautions] that are issued earlier through order with the same reference number as above dated March 14, 2020, are strictly applied by all within the territorial jurisdiction of the province of Sindh,” read the notification issued by the home department. With stress on implementation of all essential and general preventive measures, the notification underscores the precautionary measures to be followed at workplaces, public places, and during travelling, especially when using public transportation. Earlier on Friday, Sindh Chief Minister (CM) Murad Ali Shah had said that “strict action” would be taken against people failing to follow the safety measures against the coronavirus as cases are on the rise in the province. “Cases are on the rise in Karachi and Hyderabad,” the chief minister had said, adding that safety measures should be ensured everywhere in the province.
