As per the notification, one more vaccination centre would be established in district Karachi East, three more in Karachi South, three more in Karachi Central, one more each in Karachi West and Malir and two more in Korangi.
On Saturday, Karachi’s Expo Centre witnessed chaos following the warnings issued by the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC) that salaries of the government employees resisting vaccination would be blocked.
Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah had directed the finance ministry to stop the salaries from July of government employees who refuse to get themselves vaccinated against the novel coronavirus.
On the other hand, Sindh in the last few weeks has observed a sharp rise in the number of coronavirus cases as the deadly Delta variant of the virus continues to spread in the province.
On Saturday, the province reported at least 2,772 new coronavirus cases during the last 24 hours, taking the tally to 382,848.
As many as 30 more patients succumbed to the deadly virus as the death toll surged to 6,001.
