On the other hand, Chief Minister Sindh Murad Ali Shah while talking to media today said that education institutions will be opened after all teachers have been vaccinated.
He said this after visiting the Expo Centre vaccination facility in Karachi.
Shah said that COVID-19 SOPs and lockdowns across the province will be relaxed after a significant number of people are vaccinated. Furthermore, he also asked people to cooperate in the vaccination drive.
“I request everyone to cooperate,” he said. “We have to vaccinate three million people.”
Murad said that Sindh will stop the salaries of government employees who refuse to get vaccinated.
