General Status

COVID-19 cases are rampantly increasing in Pakistan. The Federal Government continues to closely monitor the situation and is taking necessary precautionary measures to curtail further spread, while multiple provinces have opted to go into a state of lockdown. Organizations integral to sustaining supply chain, healthcare and food have been deemed essential and can operate during lockdown.
