Govt decides to open schools in September with improvement in situation

Fortunately, COVID-19 situation in Pakistan is much better than many countries including the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. Pakistan adopted the approach of smart lockdown after identifying certain hotspots of corona and sealed them, resulting in notable decline in the number of corona cases. The people of country were not taking the situation of the pandemic seriously, so the government was forced to impose lockdown in specific areas. Eid-ul-Azha is approaching and there is still need to maintain social distancing. It is our moral responsibility to comply with the guidelines issued by the government as these are for our own prevention. This virus can resurge.  The government has also decided to open schools in September as things will be under better control at that time. But the SoPs must be strictly followed. I would suggest that a batch of students must come one day and the other batch should attend classes on other day to avoid congestion. In any case, we must be careful and stay safe from this fatal pandemic.
