A conference of the education ministers was convened yesterday (Thursday) to discuss the future of schools in the wake of the appearance of the Omicron variant. However, the meeting was later postponed until next week due to the high number of coronavirus infections in the country.

The risk of infection in Karachi has increased significantly.

According to data released today by the National Control Organization of Pakistan (NCOC), coronavirus positivity in Karachi has dropped by 28.80 percent in the last 24 hours, according to data released by the National Control Organization of Pakistan (NCOC). This is slightly lower than the previous day’s figure of 31 percent, when 1,940 people tested positive for the infectious disease.

Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah stated Friday that the decision to impose a lockdown and suspend educational institutions will be made in accordance with the recommendations of the National Coordination Committee.

Asked about the fast spread of coronavirus infections in Karachi by the media, CM Shah stated that the issue was under control because the number of hospitalizations and patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) in the port city had decreased significantly.

Even tho Karachi had reported the greatest number of COVID-19 cases the day before, the Sindh chief minister assured that the demand on hospitals was not growing.

It was reaffirmed that “whatever plan we take, it would be done in conjunction with NCOC.”
