Islamabad, May 24 : The southeastern Pakistani province of Sindh has imposed a night curfew starting on Tuesday, after seeing a spike in COVID cases.

“From 8 pm people will not be allowed to travel around the city unnecessarily,” the provincial government tweeted.

It said police would be deployed in the streets to impose the restrictions and check vehicles.

The curfew comes a day after the government prolonged the lockdown for another two weeks, ordering businesses to close on Friday and Sunday and restricting commerce to 5 am-6 pm schedule during the rest of the week.

Infections have been on the rise in the cities of Karachi, Hyderabad and Sukkur.(UNI)
