Considering a complete lockdown in Karachi: The number of daily COVID-19 cases is reportedly rising in Pakistan overall (predominantly the Delta variant). The Sindh government has been thinking about enforcing more COVID-19 prevention restrictions, and even a complete lockdown in Karachi. However, Federal Minister for Planning and Development, Asad Umar, didn’t agree with the idea of closing entire cities. Umar is also head of the National Command and Operation Center that is overseeing Pakistan’s pandemic response. He prefers “smart lockdowns,” which means shutting down specific areas that are considered covid hotspots because a complete lockdown could result in major financial losses. Umar claimed that the working class and laborers will have to pay the biggest price of a complete lockdown, so closing down cities is not the solution.
New vaccination requirements: Federal Minister for Planning and Development, Asad Umar, said that from August 1 onwards, unvaccinated people won’t be allowed to enter government offices, schools, restaurants, and shopping malls.

Teachers have an earlier vaccination deadline of August 1.
