The Transport and Mass Transit Department of Sindh has reportedly issued new directives in light of the growing COVID-19 cases in the province.
Accordingly, state-supervised teams have been formed to verify the COVID-19 vaccination certificates of public transport passengers. Each team will run checks at inter-city and intra-city bus stops to make sure the passengers are vaccinated.
These checks will be conducted until 18 July, subject to change as per the updated directions of the provincial government.
