“Remain at homes, remain safe from coronavirus”, CM Usman Buzdar said in his statement released from Lahore, here today.

The CM Punjab praised Prime Minister Imran Khan’s coronavirus strategy and said that smart lockdown policy under the leadership of PM Imran has proved successful.

He added that nation will never forgive those who played politics on the pandemic and vowed that PTI leadership will never leave masses alone in this situation of the pandemic.

Earlier this week, while chairing a meeting of the federal cabinet, Prime Minister Imran Khan had issued directives for strict implementation of the government-defined standard operating procedures (SOPs) for cattle markets to curb spread of coronavirus during Eidul Azha.

The cabinet that met with Premier Khan in the chair took stock of the country’s overall political and economic situation. It also deliberated upon the SOPs to mitigate the risk of a possible spike in Covid-19 cases during the upcoming Eid.
