Karachi
May 3, 2021
The number of Covid-positive cases reported over a 24-hour period in Sindh has been steadily increasing with every passing day. From 247 cases reported on March 31 to 1,178 cases reported on May 1, the Covid-19 positivity has increased to almost five times in the province.
Unfortunately, however, the relevant authorities seem to be the least bothered about ensuring actual compliance with the standard operating procedures (SOPs) devised to curb the spread of the viral disease, which is evident from the Eidul Fitr shopping spree under way in Karachi these days.
Even a brief survey of different shopping centres on Tariq Road, of the Zainab Market and of various shopping streets in the city is enough to show you hundreds of thousands of people, along with their children, shopping for Eid.
