President, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry Sardar Yasir Ilyas Khan has advised the local administration to exempt all markets and business areas from the imposition of smart lockdown and take measures to ensure the implementation of SOPs in order to curb the 2nd wave Covid-19 pandemic in the federal capital as our economy was not in a position to afford the closure of business activities.
He said that the ICT Administration has sealed some subsectors in 1-8/3, 1-8/4, G-9/1, G-10/4 and G-6/2 Islamabad to control the spread of Covid-19, however, he stressed that all markets including small markets should be kept open with SOPs as closure of businesses would lead to more poverty and poverty will kill more people than the coronavirus.
