Sindh education minister Saeed Ghani on Friday termed reports about the closure of schools in the province as "baseless", as authorities begin imposing micro smart lockdowns in Karachi.
"No decision has been made to shut down schools," he said, addressing a press conference along with PPP leader Waqar Mehdi.
The education minister said that the citizens should follow the government-issued coronavirus safety protocols.
"We have imposed a micro lockdown for now. People should not force the government to impose a complete lockdown," the education minister said.
The development comes after several areas in Karachi were put under a micro smart lockdown following an increase in coronavirus cases, including Creek Vista Apartments Block A, Phase VIII, DHA, Askari III, Civil Lines, Saddar, and Manghopir.
