three in Central, 12 in Malir and nine in District Korangi.

Seven shops, factories and pharmacies were sealed too over SOP
violations. Their owners were fined Rs130,000. The development comes
after resurgence of coronavirus cases in the city. It has prompted the
authorities to place several virus hotspots under micro smart lockdown
for two weeks.

unnecessarily. They will have to wear face masks and follow all SOPs.
All businesses except pharmacies and grocery stores will remain closed
in these areas. DNA
