“We may see a rise in the Covid-19 infections after Eid-ul Azha unlike the Eid-ul Fitr as there are reports that people have violated health guidelines laid down by the government in wake of Covid-19 pandemic,” said Nasir Shah while talking to media in Sukkur.
Sindh minister said the provincial government was in contact with the federation regarding the standard operating procedures (SOPs) for Muharram ul Haram. He said that the government will soon issue standard operating procedures regarding Muharram ul Haram and everyone has to implement it.
He further said that there is no corona-free area in Pakistan, adding that the role of Ulema is important during the Muharram.
“The role of religious scholars is important and they have cooperated with the government in every matter regarding the Coronavirus,” he added.
