The schools were recently re-opened from first February after a two-month closure due to the second wave of COVID-19 outbreak late last year. The government had decided to resume regular classes from the first of March.
The COVID-19 situation is worsening as Pakistan has reported the highest number of cases in a day since the end of January. NCOC revealed that there is indeed a surge in the cases but the situation is not as bad as during the second wave of the pandemic.
