بڑا خوش آئند ہے کہ ایس او پیز پر عمل درآمد 34 فیصد سے بڑھ کر 68 فیصد تک ہو گیا ہے. کوشش ہے کہ اس کو سو فیصد پر لے کر جائیں. سب سے زیادہ ایس او پیز پر عمل درآمد اسلام آباد میں کیا جا رہا یے اور سب سے کم عملدرآمد سندھ، کراچی میں کیا جا رہا ہے@fawadchaudhry pic.twitter.com/L5Z0fU4hnN

Significant improvement seen in SOP compliance since the stronger enforcement measures including military deployment took place. National average compliance has doubled from 34% on 25th apr to 68% on 3rd may. Need to sustain and build on this compliance level specially till eid. pic.twitter.com/lf1Flz0LRT

Concerns: He said that Sindh, specially Karachi was not following the SOPs related to COVID-19 at all, which was affecting the progress made in Punjab and KP. He questioned the policies of the Sindh government. He said that Karachi must implement SOPs as the supply chain begins in Karachi and this will affect the whole country’s fight against the third wave of COVID-19.
