The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) on Friday announced fresh restrictions, as the third wave of the virus intensifies in Pakistan and other parts of the world.
The NCOC placed a ban on outdoor dining in restaurants and has said schools will be closed in cities where the coronavirus positivity ratio is above 5%.
Office timings have been restricted to 2pm, with 50% work from home policy in place at both government and private offices.
Federal Minister for Planning Asad Umar, briefing the media about decisions taken by the National Coordination Committee (NCC) to curb the spread of coronavirus, said a comprehensive plan will be prepared in consultation with provinces in case lockdowns become necessary in certain cities.
