Amidst the ongoing third wave of the deadly novel Coronavirus in Pakistan, a complete national lockdown is expected from Monday, March 22 across the country.
According to sources, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed expects a complete national lockdown in Pakistan as the third wave of COVID19 is going berserk in Pakistan.
Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has released a video statement regarding complete lockdown in the country.
He has denied the news and said that it is possible the government may impose strict restrictions in the coming days.
“I did not say at all that a lockdown will begin on Monday. False reports attributed to me have been circulating,” he began to see in the video.
Rasheed further added, “I did not speak of a complete, nationwide lockdown at all. So I wish to say to everyone, this is a false report being circulated.”
