The decision was taken during a NCOC meeting chaired by Minister for Planning Asad Umar here on Wednesday. The meeting reviewed the overall situation of coronavirus cases in the country.

The participants of the meeting suggested a ban on the public gatherings and further tightening of the standard operating procedures (SOPs) in the high risk areas.
