There will be no winter vacations for schools across Sindh this year, the provincial government announced on Friday.
Educational institutions across Pakistan were closed late February after coronavirus cases spiked. They are expected to reopen September 15.
The Sindh government would close the educational institutes not following coronavirus SOPs, Sindh Education Minister Saeed Ghani said. He was speaking to reporters in Karachi.
The coronavirus situation has improved but the virus has not yet been eliminated, according to the minister. He said people seriously need to take precautionary measures.
Ghani said reopening schools is more difficult than reopening markets as it is difficult to make young children act upon the SOPs.
