LAHORE: Most of the Punjab Cabinet members have proposed that the provincial government must go ahead to impose lockdown in the cities facing high coronavirus rate.
As many as 2,100 coronavirus deaths and 85,900 new positive cases have been reported during the past one month. Lahore alone is facing 22.7 per cent positivity rate at present. Twenty-three districts are reporting over 8pc infection rate in Punjab.
However, the cabinet in its 43rd meeting at chief minister’s secretariat on Thursday did not immediately decide to propose lockdown in select cities to the National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC).
