Islamabad
The government on Wednesday sealed the Parliament House after at least 30 of the two houses’ employees tested positive for Coronavirus last week. The building would remain closed until November 9.
The Capital Development Authority has assumed the responsibility of disinfecting the building, while Senate Chairperson Sadiq Sanjrani, Speaker National Assembly Asad Qaisar, and several other officials self-isolated themselves due to possible exposure and were working from home. Owing to the coronavirus emergency, the Senate and National Assembly also cancelled scheduled meetings and announced a new date.
