Schools across Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Lahore, Gujrat, Multan, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad and Islamabad will remain closed from March 15 to March 28.
The decision has been taken because of the rising coronavirus cases in these cities – On the other hand, schools in Balochistan, Sindh and KPK will resume classes with 50% attendance, said federal minister Shafqat Mahmood.
Mahmood clarified that the decision will be applicable to all educational institutions, whether its schools, universities or colleges. These restrictions will, however, not be applicable to exams. A-Level, matric and intermediate examinations will be held as per schedule.
Indoor dining in restaurants and indoor weddings again remains suspended. Parks to close at 6 pm.
