Earlier, the provincial authorities had sealed three factory units in Karachi for violating standard operating procedures (SOPs) issued by the Sindh government to contain the spread of Covid-19. Spokesman to the provincial government Murtaza Wahab had said that all three factories were sealed in the Korangi area of Karachi for not following the SOPs set by the government amid the coronavirus lockdown. He said that the operations of the factories were suspended for not maintaining social distancing between workers in transport vehicles.
